Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Guaifenesin 10%/Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate 10% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to provide targeted treatment for a range of respiratory conditions. These include bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and emphysema. The formulation combines two active ingredients, guaifenesin and magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, which synergistically work to alleviate symptoms by reducing inflammation and loosening mucus in the airways.

This topical gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin. It is typically applied directly to the chest and throat area, allowing for rapid absorption and prompt relief of symptoms. The gel-like consistency ensures a smooth application process and enhances the absorption of the active ingredients.

Guaifenesin is an expectorant that aids in thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, thereby making it easier to cough up and expel. On the other hand, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate serves as an anti-inflammatory agent that helps to reduce inflammation in the airways, promoting easier breathing.

It is crucial to adhere to the directions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication. If you have any questions or concerns about using this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary guidance and support to ensure you are using the medication safely and effectively.

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.
