How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ibuprofen 10% Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism, allowing for easy and precise application on the skin. This topical medication is designed for targeted treatment, delivering the active ingredient directly to the area in need.

However, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth when applying the gel.

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.
