Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Amitriptyline HCl 10 mg/0.1 ml Topical Gel (Vet) is a specially compounded veterinary medication designed to address a range of conditions in animals. This semisolid formulation, dispensed through a pump mechanism, allows for easy and precise application on the skin, facilitating targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients.

The topical gel is applied directly to the affected area, where it is absorbed through the skin, delivering the medication exactly where it's needed.

The active ingredient, Amitriptyline HCl, is a tricyclic antidepressant. It functions by blocking the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that play a crucial role in mood regulation and pain perception. By doing so, it helps to alleviate pain and improve mood in affected animals.

It is crucial to adhere to the prescriber's instructions when using this medication to ensure its efficacy and the animal's safety.

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.
