Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Brompheniramine Maleate 8 mg/Pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg Slow Release Capsules is a compounded medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergies, sinusitis, and nasal congestion. This formulation combines two active ingredients, brompheniramine maleate and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, which synergistically work to provide relief from symptoms such as allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal congestion, cough, and bronchitis.

The capsules are formulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This innovative technology allows for a gradual and sustained release of the active ingredients over an extended period of time. This slow release mechanism offers several benefits including prolonged therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance, particularly beneficial for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

Brompheniramine maleate, an antihistamine, functions by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. This action helps to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. On the other hand, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, a decongestant, works by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages. This reduces nasal congestion and facilitates easier breathing.

However, it is crucial to understand that this medication is not intended to treat the underlying conditions causing these symptoms. It should be used strictly as directed by a healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

However, it should not be used in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, urinary retention, or severe hypertension. Caution is also advised for patients with cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and prostatic hypertrophy.

Patients are also advised to avoid alcohol while taking this medication.

It's important to note that this formulation may interact with other medications, including but not limited to, anticholinergics, sympathomimetics, and other antihistamines. Therefore, patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking prior to starting this formulation.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Brompheniramine Maleate 8 mg/Pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg Slow Release Capsules is a compounded medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal congestion, cough, and bronchitis. This combination medication works through the dual action of brompheniramine maleate and pseudoephedrine HCl. Brompheniramine maleate functions by inhibiting the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. On the other hand, pseudoephedrine HCl operates by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages, thereby reducing congestion.

The unique feature of this medication is its slow-release capsule formulation, which incorporates Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This design ensures a gradual and sustained release of the active ingredients over an extended period. This slow-release mechanism offers several benefits, including sustained therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance, particularly for medications that necessitate a controlled and prolonged release profile.

When using Brompheniramine Maleate 8 mg/Pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg Slow Release Capsules, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. The capsules should be consumed with food or a full glass of water to minimize the possibility of stomach upset. Consistency in the timing of medication intake each day is essential to ensure steady symptom relief. It is also vital to avoid exceeding the recommended dose to prevent the risk of potential side effects.

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.
