Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Amitriptyline HCl 2%/Baclofen 2% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and muscle spasms. This unique formulation brings together the therapeutic benefits of two potent medications, Amitriptyline HCl and Baclofen, creating a synergistic effect that enhances the overall treatment efficacy.

Amitriptyline HCl is a tricyclic antidepressant that functions by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. This action not only helps to alleviate pain but also improves mood. On the other hand, Baclofen is a muscle relaxant that operates by blocking the release of specific neurotransmitters, thereby reducing muscle spasms and enhancing mobility. The combination of these two medications in this formulation provides a powerful treatment option for a variety of conditions.

This compounded medication is dispensed as a semisolid formulation through a pump mechanism. This design facilitates easy and precise application on the skin, allowing for targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. The gel-like consistency ensures that the medication is absorbed effectively, providing quick relief from symptoms.

While this formulation offers an effective treatment option for patients suffering from neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and muscle spasms, it is important to note that it may cause skin irritation in some individuals. Therefore, it should be used with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

As a compounded medication, Amitriptyline HCl 2%/Baclofen 2% Topical Gel requires careful monitoring for any adverse reactions or potential interactions with other medications. Healthcare providers prescribing this medication should be aware of its unique characteristics and monitor their patients closely.
