How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a combination of seven active ingredients: Amitriptyline HCl, Baclofen, Bupivacaine HCl, Clonidine HCl, Gabapentin, Ketamine HCl, and Nifedipine. Each of these ingredients works in a unique way to provide relief from various disease states.

Amitriptyline HCl is a tricyclic antidepressant that works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help improve mood, relieve pain, and promote sleep. Baclofen is a muscle relaxer and an antispastic agent. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (GABA) in the brain. Bupivacaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve impulses in your body, thereby reducing pain and discomfort.

Clonidine HCl is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that works by relaxing blood vessels and decreasing heart rate to improve blood flow. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that works by reducing abnormal excitement in the brain. It also relieves nerve pain by changing the way the body senses pain. Ketamine HCl is a general anesthetic that works by blocking certain receptors in the brain to maintain a state of anesthesia.

Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the muscles of your heart and blood vessels. It is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain).

The formulation is designed to be applied topically, which means it is applied directly to the area of the skin where treatment is needed. This allows for targeted treatment and absorption of the active ingredients. The gel-like consistency of the formulation makes it easy to apply and ensures that it stays in place on the skin.

This formulation can be used to treat a variety of disease states, including chronic pain, neuropathic pain, muscle spasms, and certain types of high blood pressure and chest pain. The combination of these seven active ingredients provides a multi-faceted approach to treatment, addressing various symptoms and causes of these disease states.

If you have any questions about this formulation, how it works, or how it can be used to treat specific disease states, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your health.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This specially compounded topical gel contains a combination of medications that are traditionally used in the management of various disease states. Apart from its primary use in the treatment of neuropathic pain, this formulation may also have additional applications.

The combination of Amitriptyline, Baclofen, Bupivacaine, Gabapentin, and Ketamine may provide potent analgesic effects. It could potentially be used in other conditions causing chronic pain, such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, or even migraine prophylaxis. However, these uses would be off-label and should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Another potential use of this formulation could be in the management of certain musculoskeletal conditions. The locally acting muscle relaxant Baclofen, combined with the pain relieving effects of the other medications could potentially provide benefit in conditions such as muscle spasms or localized muscle pain. Again, this would be considered an off-label use.

Clonidine, a medication in this compound, is traditionally used for its effect on hypertension, but when used topically, may target and treat localized inflammation. It could hence be useful in managing certain skin conditions characterized by inflammation such as rosacea and some forms of dermatitis.

Nifedipine, a calcium-channel blocker, may provide potential benefits in the management of Raynaud's phenomenon, a condition causing painful and discoloring skin due to spasms of small arteries in the fingers and toes. Its inclusion could therefore make this gel potentially useful for patients with this condition.

The broad spectrum of mechanisms and properties in these drugs provides many potential applications beyond neuropathic pain. However, it's important to remember that the efficacy and safety of off-label uses may not have been extensively studied and patients should always consult with their healthcare provider before use. Controlled delivery through a pump mechanism ensures easy application and a more targeted, localized treatment approach. Users can adjust the application based on the severity of their symptoms or as advised by their prescriber.
