These interactions can lead to changes in the effectiveness of the drugs or increased side effects.

Deoxy Glucose is a glucose analog that is used in medical imaging and as a potential treatment for cancer. It can interact with certain diabetes medications, potentially affecting blood sugar control.

Ketamine HCl is a powerful anesthetic that can interact with other central nervous system depressants, including alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids. These interactions can lead to serious side effects, including respiratory depression and loss of consciousness.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation. It can interact with other NSAIDs, blood thinners, and certain blood pressure medications, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding or kidney problems.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that can interact with other local anesthetics and certain heart medications. These interactions can lead to changes in heart rhythm or increased risk of side effects.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This unique formulation combines several active ingredients, each with its own mechanism of action, to provide a comprehensive treatment for a variety of disease states. The formulation is designed to be applied topically, allowing for targeted treatment and absorption of the active ingredients.

Acyclovir, an antiviral medication, works by slowing the growth and spread of the herpes virus in the body. It interferes with the virus's ability to replicate and infect new cells. This can help control outbreaks of herpes virus infections, including cold sores, shingles, and genital herpes.

Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer. It works by reducing the spread of seizure activity in the brain and restoring the normal balance of nerve activity. In a topical formulation, it can help to alleviate nerve pain in localized areas.

Deoxy Glucose, a glucose analog, is included in this formulation for its potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is believed to work by inhibiting the metabolic processes of cells, which can help to reduce inflammation and pain.

Ketamine HCl is a powerful anesthetic that works by blocking the NMDA receptor, a type of glutamate receptor in the brain. This can help to provide rapid relief from pain and inflammation.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It can provide relief from pain and inflammation in localized areas when applied topically.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. It can provide rapid, localized relief from pain and discomfort.

This formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively into the skin for targeted treatment.

This formulation can be used to treat a variety of disease states, including herpes virus infections, nerve pain, inflammation, and localized pain. It provides a comprehensive treatment approach by combining several active ingredients with different mechanisms of action.

If you have any questions about this formulation, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your health.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

Aside from the provided disease states, this unique formulation of Acyclovir, Carbamazepine, Deoxy Glucose, Ketamine HCl, Ketoprofen, and Lidocaine HCl in a topical gel may have several potential applications. Each of the active ingredients in our formulation has well-documented uses outside of their primary applications.

Acyclovir, most commonly used for treating viral infections, could potentially be applied topically for treating herpetic whitlow (a herpes simplex infection of the finger), herpes labialis (cold sores), or potentially as an adjunct treatment for herpes zoster (shingles).

Carbamazepine, notoriously deployed in treatment of seizures and bipolar disorder, has recognized roles in some cases of neuralgia, particularly trigeminal neuralgia. Topical application might be beneficial in targeted areas of neuropathic pain.

Deoxy Glucose is used mostly to enhance visibility in PET scans, but can also potentially help manage conditions characterized by high glycolytic activity, though these uses are less well-explored.

Ketamine HCl, primarily an anesthetic, may have potential use in pain management, especially neuropathic pain, due to its NMDA receptor antagonism. It is also being studied for use in cases of refractory depression, although these findings are preliminary and primarily concern systemic rather than topical administration.

Ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is widely used to manage pain and inflammation. In our topical gel, it could potentially manage localized musculoskeletal pain, such as tendinitis or arthritis.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic drug. In topical formulations, it's often used to relieve local pain and itching related to skin conditions or to numb the skin before certain procedures. It may, therefore, potentially provide symptomatic relief in our specialized formulation.

Nevertheless, this information should only provide an insight into the potential uses of our formulation and we encourage both patients, and healthcare practicioners to conduct further research. Please consider that topical administration generally results in much lower systemic exposure to these medications in comparison to oral or injected doses.

We must highlight that it’s important to follow the prescribing instructions of your healthcare provider and to use this medication for the conditions it was prescribed for. Off-label use should always be supervised by a healthcare provider familiar with the use and potential side effects of these medications. For any queries or concerns, feel free to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.
