Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Amitriptyline HCl 1%, Lidocaine HCl 2.5%, and Meloxicam 0.1% in a topical gel. Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that has been shown to be effective in treating neuropathic pain. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that provides temporary relief from pain and discomfort. Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain in the body.

The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. This targeted treatment facilitates the absorption of the active ingredients directly into the affected area, providing localized relief from pain and inflammation. The gel-like consistency ensures that the medication stays in place, allowing for prolonged contact with the skin and enhanced absorption of the active ingredients.

This formulation is particularly useful in treating conditions such as neuropathic pain, osteoarthritis, and other conditions where inflammation and pain are present. Amitriptyline works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help improve the mood and reduce the sensation of pain. Lidocaine works by blocking nerve signals in your body, thereby reducing feelings of pain and discomfort. Meloxicam works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.

It is important to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area and rub in gently until it is absorbed. Do not apply this medication to broken or irritated skin. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and other sensitive areas. If you experience any side effects such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

As compounding pharmacists, we are committed to providing high-quality, personalized medications to meet the unique needs of our patients. If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation contains Amitriptyline HCl, Lidocaine HCl, and Meloxicam, each of which may interact with other medications. It's crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you're currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Amitriptyline HCl, a tricyclic antidepressant, may interact with other antidepressants, antipsychotics, certain antibiotics, and heart medications. It can also interact with MAO inhibitors, leading to serious, potentially life-threatening side effects. Avoid consuming alcohol as it can increase the risk of side effects.

Lidocaine HCl, a local anesthetic, may interact with other local anesthetics and certain heart medications. It's also important to note that applying topical Lidocaine to broken or inflamed skin may increase the risk of Lidocaine entering the bloodstream and causing side effects.

Meloxicam, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), may interact with other NSAIDs, blood thinners, certain antidepressants, and blood pressure medications. It can also interact with alcohol, leading to an increased risk of stomach bleeding.

This formulation is designed to provide targeted treatment for a variety of conditions. Amitriptyline HCl can help manage chronic pain, especially neuropathic pain. Lidocaine HCl provides local anesthesia, numbing the specific area of application to reduce pain or discomfort. Meloxicam, on the other hand, reduces inflammation and pain in the body.

While this formulation is generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include skin irritation at the site of application, drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and constipation. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience any serious side effects such as rapid heartbeat, severe nausea, or mental/mood changes, seek medical attention immediately.

Remember, this medication should only be used as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not increase your dose or use it more frequently than prescribed. Your condition will not improve faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The formulation of Amitriptyline HCl 1%/Lidocaine HCl 2.5%/Meloxicam 0.1% Topical Gel works by combining the therapeutic effects of three active ingredients: Amitriptyline, Lidocaine, and Meloxicam. Each of these ingredients plays a crucial role in managing pain and inflammation.

Amitriptyline HCl is a tricyclic antidepressant that is used in this formulation for its analgesic properties. It works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help elevate mood and reduce the sensation of pain. When applied topically, Amitriptyline can help numb the skin and underlying tissues, providing relief from localized pain.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. When applied to the skin, it causes a temporary loss of sensation in the area, providing immediate relief from pain and discomfort. This makes it particularly useful in managing conditions that cause surface-level pain and irritation.

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. When applied topically, Meloxicam can help reduce inflammation and pain in the specific area it is applied to, making it effective in treating localized symptoms of conditions like osteoarthritis.

The gel formulation allows for easy and precise application of these active ingredients directly to the area of discomfort. The semisolid consistency of the gel ensures that the active ingredients stay in contact with the skin for a longer period, allowing for better absorption and more effective relief from pain and inflammation.

This formulation is particularly useful in managing conditions that cause localized pain and inflammation, such as osteoarthritis, nerve pain, and certain skin conditions. By combining the effects of an antidepressant, a local anesthetic, and an NSAID, this formulation provides a comprehensive approach to pain management.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This combination formulation of Amitriptyline HCl 1%, Lidocaine HCl 2.5%, and Meloxicam 0.1% in a topical gel form is primarily used for pain relief, in particular for localized neuropathic or musculoskeletal pain. The gel allows for the active ingredients to be absorbed through the skin at the site of the pain, easing discomfort and reducing inflammation.

Aside from its primary use, this medication formulation can also be utilized for other conditions. For instance, Amitriptyline HCl, a tricyclic antidepressant, may assist in painful conditions where sleep disturbances and mood are also a concern. Lidocaine HCl, a powerful local anesthetic, is useful in conditions like post-herpetic neuralgia, in which there may be a burning or shooting sensation caused by damage to the nerves, as it works by numbing the skin and blocking pain signals from the nerves to the brain. Meloxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), may provide added benefit in conditions with a significant inflammatory component, such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, due to its ability to reduce inflammation and swelling in joints and tissues.

Other potential applications could include the management of pain associated with fibromyalgia, chronic lower back pain, diabetic neuropathy, and symptomatic management of inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema where inflammation and pain are severe and localized. It could also be beneficial in postsurgical pain management, or in superficial nerve or soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, and contusions.

Beyond these indications, however, it is crucial that any decision to use the product for other purposes should be based on the clinical judgment of a healthcare provider, considering the potential risks and benefits for the individual patient. Remember that this medication formulation is for topical use only and should not be used on open wounds, damaged or infected skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.
