How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Amitriptyline HCl 2%/Gabapentin 6% Vaginal/Rectal Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as chronic pelvic pain, vulvodynia, and interstitial cystitis. This unique formulation brings together the therapeutic benefits of two potent medications, Amitriptyline HCl and Gabapentin, to create a synergistic effect that aids in reducing pain and inflammation.

Amitriptyline HCl, a tricyclic antidepressant, functions by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, two crucial neurotransmitters involved in pain perception. On the other hand, Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant, works by regulating the release of neurotransmitters in the brain and spinal cord. The combined action of these two medications can significantly alleviate pain and inflammation in the pelvic region.

When using this gel, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. The gel is intended for direct application to the affected area, either vaginally or rectally, depending on the specific condition being treated. Proper usage of the gel, neither too much nor too little, is essential for effective treatment.

It's important to understand that this formulation may require several weeks to manifest its full therapeutic effects. Patience and consistent usage as directed are key to achieving the desired relief. If you have any queries or concerns regarding the use of this formulation, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider.
