How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Trimeprazine 2.5 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of conditions, including allergies, hay fever, and asthma. The active ingredient, Trimeprazine, works by inhibiting the release of certain natural substances that cause inflammation in the body. This action helps to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose.

In addition to treating respiratory conditions, Trimeprazine 2.5 mg Capsules can also be used to manage nausea and vomiting induced by certain medications. The mechanism of action involves blocking the activity of specific chemicals in the brain that trigger nausea and vomiting.

For optimal results, Trimeprazine 2.5 mg Capsules should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. The typical dosage is one capsule administered three times daily. Consistency in taking the capsules at the same time each day is crucial to maintain a steady level of the medication in your system.

If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as it is remembered. However, it is important not to take two doses simultaneously. For any queries or concerns regarding the administration of Trimeprazine 2.5 mg Capsules, please consult your healthcare provider.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
