Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Diphenhydramine HCl 2%/Naltrexone HCl 0.2% Topical Gel (Vet) is a semisolid preparation designed for easy and precise application on the skin. It is primarily used in the veterinary field for the treatment of various skin conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis, Pruritus, Allergic Skin Reactions, Insect Bites, and Acral Lick Granuloma.

Diphenhydramine HCl, one of the active ingredients in this formulation, is an antihistamine that functions by inhibiting the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. On the other hand, Naltrexone HCl is an opioid antagonist that works by blocking the effects of opioids, including endorphins. This can help reduce itching and inflammation associated with the aforementioned skin conditions.

When used in combination, these two medications can provide significant relief from the symptoms associated with these conditions. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to either of the active ingredients. Patients should also be closely monitored for signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If any of these symptoms occur, the patient should immediately discontinue use and seek medical attention.

It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or a veterinarian before starting any new medication regimen. They can provide guidance based on the patient's specific condition and medical history. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its use, please consult with a healthcare professional.

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.
