How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a combination of five active ingredients: Amitriptyline HCl, Baclofen, Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, and Prilocaine, each playing a unique role in managing pain and inflammation. The formulation is designed to be applied topically, directly to the area of discomfort, allowing for targeted treatment and absorption through the skin.

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 HCl can help to numb the skin and underlying tissues, reducing pain and discomfort in the applied area.

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 formulation helps to relieve muscle spasms, pain, and stiffness.

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant and nerve pain medication. It works by calming down nerve activity to reduce pain sensations. Gabapentin in this formulation is used to manage nerve pain, especially in conditions like shingles or diabetic neuropathy.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Ketoprofen in this formulation is used to reduce inflammation and pain in the area where the gel is applied.

Prilocaine is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. It is used in this formulation to numb the skin and tissues underneath, providing temporary relief from pain or discomfort.

Together, these five active ingredients work synergistically to provide relief from various types of pain, including neuropathic pain, musculoskeletal pain, and inflammation. The gel formulation allows for easy and precise application, and the pump mechanism ensures that the correct dose is dispensed each time.

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

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This custom gel formulation, containing Amitriptyline HCl, Baclofen, Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, and Prilocaine, has been used primarily to alleviate symptoms of nerve pain, muscle movement disorders, and inflammatory conditions, thus providing potential benefits to patients with conditions such as neuropathy, fibromyalgia, or restless leg syndrome. However, it may also possess further applications beyond these commonly treated disease states.

Firstly, the mixture of these active ingredients could potentially be utilized for targeted local anesthesia. The inclusion of both amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant with analgesic properties, and prilocaine, a local anesthetic, can numb the specific area of application, potentially serving patients who require local anesthesia for minor surgical procedures, or those experiencing localized pain.

Secondly, the presence of baclofen, a muscle relaxant, and gabapentin, a drug capable of alleviating seizures and nerve pain, suggest that this gel could be researched for use in treating conditions that involve muscle spasms or convulsions. Possible diseases might include spastic cerebral palsy or specific seizure disorders. However, further research would be needed to confirm these potential applications.

The anti-inflammatory action of ketoprofen also opens up potential applications in conditions involving acute inflammation of the skin, such as specific types of dermatitis or even psoriasis. This potent NSAID may reduce swelling and ease any associated pain, bringing relief to patients suffering from such conditions.

It should be noted that although this formulation has potential applications in various treatment areas, the specific mixture and concentrations of active ingredients have been primarily designed for the treatment of nerve pain, muscle disorders, and inflammatory conditions. Therefore, its use for other purposes should be thoroughly discussed with a healthcare provider, preferably one familiar with the patient’s medical history and current health status. Regardless, safety and effectiveness will be paramount considerations.

Finally, please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of this formulation. Our team of compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy is well-versed in the properties of our formulations and we are dedicated to aid you with any questions you might have, be it for you as a healthcare provider or as a patient curious about your treatment.
