This formulation combines Amantadine HCl 0.25%, Baclofen 0.25%, and Ketoprofen 1% in a topical gel. It is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism, allowing for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed directly into the targeted area, providing localized treatment.

Amantadine HCl is an antiviral medication that also has properties to relieve pain, particularly neuropathic pain. It works by blocking the action of certain chemicals in the body that may contribute to the sensation of pain. Baclofen is a muscle relaxer and an antispasmodic agent. It is used to treat muscle symptoms such as spasm, pain, and stiffness. Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.

This combination of medications in a topical gel form is particularly useful in treating conditions such as neuropathic pain, muscle spasms, and inflammation. By applying the medication directly to the affected area, patients can experience targeted relief with potentially fewer systemic side effects compared to oral medications.

It is important for patients to use this medication as directed by their healthcare provider. The gel should be applied to the affected area and gently massaged until it is fully absorbed. Patients should avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and other sensitive areas. If the medication gets in these areas, rinse with water immediately. It is also crucial to wash hands after applying unless hands are the area being treated.

As with any medication, this formulation may cause side effects. Common side effects may include skin irritation at the application site. If these effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Serious side effects are rare but seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.

For prescribers, it is important to consider the patient's overall health status, other medications, and potential drug interactions when prescribing this formulation. Regular follow-ups are recommended to monitor the patient's response to treatment and adjust the dosage if necessary.

This formulation combines Amantadine HCl, Baclofen, and Ketoprofen in a topical gel. Each of these active ingredients has its own potential drug interactions, which can be exacerbated when used in combination. It's important to note that while this formulation is designed for topical use, systemic absorption can still occur, potentially leading to interactions with other medications taken orally or intravenously.

Amantadine HCl is an antiviral medication that also has properties for treating Parkinson's disease and certain other movement disorders. It can interact with several types of medications, including anticholinergic drugs, antihistamines, and other medications used to treat Parkinson's disease. Concurrent use with these medications can increase the risk of side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and urinary retention. Additionally, Amantadine can interact with live influenza vaccines, potentially reducing their effectiveness.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent. It can interact with other central nervous system depressants, including alcohol, antihistamines, sedatives, and opioids, potentially leading to increased sedation and respiratory depression. Baclofen can also interact with medications that affect kidney function, as it is primarily excreted via the kidneys. Patients with impaired kidney function or those taking medications that can affect kidney function should use Baclofen with caution.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation. It can interact with other NSAIDs, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers. Ketoprofen can also interact with blood thinners, antihypertensive drugs, and certain types of antidepressants. Additionally, it can reduce the effectiveness of certain heart medications.

This formulation is intended for targeted treatment of pain and inflammation, and may also be used in the management of certain movement disorders. However, due to the potential for drug interactions, it's important for patients to inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements. This will help to ensure safe and effective use of this medication.

This unique formulation combines three active ingredients: Amantadine HCl, Baclofen, and Ketoprofen, each with its own mechanism of action to provide relief from various disease states.

Amantadine HCl is an antiviral medication that also has properties to treat Parkinson's disease and similar conditions. It works by blocking the actions of certain chemicals in the body that may contribute to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. In a topical formulation, it can help to reduce muscle stiffness and tremors.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxer and an antispastic agent. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (such as gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA) in the brain. Baclofen in this topical gel can help to reduce muscle spasms, tightness, and pain.

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

The gel formulation allows for easy and precise application of the medication directly to the affected area. The active ingredients are absorbed through the skin, providing targeted treatment and reducing the potential for systemic side effects. This makes it an excellent option for patients who may have difficulty with oral medications or who require targeted relief from symptoms.

This formulation can be used to treat a variety of disease states, including but not limited to, Parkinson's disease, muscle spasms, and pain and inflammation associated with various conditions. As with any medication, it's important to use this formulation under the guidance of a healthcare provider and to discuss any potential side effects or interactions with other medications.

If you have any questions about this formulation, how it works, or how it can be used to treat specific conditions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to help.

Amantadine HCL, Baclofen, and Ketoprofen in a topical gel formulation are primarily used for their analgesic, antipyretic, antispasmodic, and antiparkinsonian activities. However, this formulation may also find use in managing conditions other than these disease states. The drugs present in this formulation impact several physiological processes, broadening its potential use.

For instance, Amantadine, despite being initially developed as an antiviral, is known for its dopaminergic and antiglutamate activities making it potentially useful in treating fatigue in multiple sclerosis and the 'off' episodes associated with Parkinson's disease. Baclofen, a muscle relaxer and an antispastic agent, besides reducing muscle spasms, could also be beneficial in the treatment of hiccups, mechanical ventilation-related issues and even some mental health problems such as alcohol withdrawal syndrome; however, such uses are typically off-label and their safety and efficacy have not been fully established.

Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which may also be useful for relief of menstrual pain, acute gout attack and inflammation in specific conditions like soft tissue injuries and rheumatoid arthritis. When these three components are compounded together in a gel formulation, the medication may have additional uses such as in the management of local pain or inflammation, for example from minor injuries or arthritis. Moreover, because the gel is topically applied, it can deliver a high local concentration of the medications, reducing potential systemic side effects.

Still, as compounding pharmacists, we firmly relay that off-label use of any medication should only be considered under the guidance and prescription of a qualified healthcare professional. While we strive to offer reliable and comprehensive information, our knowledge remains within the realm of the compounding pharmacy. For detailed clinical information about any potential additional uses, their safety, efficacy, and any potential side effects, please reach out to us so we can help connect you with a healthcare professional or deepen our research based on your query.
