Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This topical gel formulation contains a combination of Amitriptyline HCl, Diclofenac Na, Gabapentin, Ketamine HCl, Lidocaine HCl, and Tramadol HCl. Each of these active ingredients has its own potential for drug interactions, which can be amplified when used in combination. It's important for patients and prescribers to be aware of these potential interactions to ensure safe and effective use of this medication.

Amitriptyline HCl, a tricyclic antidepressant, can interact with other antidepressants, antipsychotics, certain antihistamines, and drugs that affect serotonin levels. It can also interact with certain heart medications and increase the risk of side effects such as irregular heartbeat.

Diclofenac Na, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can interact with other NSAIDs, blood thinners, certain blood pressure medications, and certain heart medications. It can also increase the risk of stomach bleeding when used with alcohol or corticosteroids.

Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant and nerve pain medication, can interact with antacids, opioids, certain antiviral medications, and drugs that slow the central nervous system. It can also increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness and dizziness.

Ketamine HCl, an anesthetic, can interact with other anesthetics, certain psychiatric medications, and drugs that affect serotonin levels. It can also increase the risk of side effects such as hallucinations and confusion.

Lidocaine HCl, a local anesthetic, can interact with other local anesthetics, certain heart medications, and certain seizure medications. It can also increase the risk of side effects such as irregular heartbeat and seizures.

Tramadol HCl, an opioid pain medication, can interact with other opioids, certain antidepressants, certain antifungal medications, and drugs that affect serotonin levels. It can also increase the risk of side effects such as respiratory depression and serotonin syndrome.

This formulation is typically used to treat conditions such as neuropathic pain, post-herpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and other conditions involving chronic pain. The combination of these medications works to numb the affected area, reduce inflammation, and alter the perception of pain to provide relief.

It's important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions. If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This topical gel formulation combines several active ingredients, each with its own unique mechanism of action, to provide a comprehensive approach to pain management. The formulation is designed to be applied directly to the skin, allowing for targeted treatment and absorption of the active ingredients.

Amitriptyline HCl is a tricyclic antidepressant that works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help improve mood, pain threshold, and sleep. While it's primarily used to treat depression, it's also found to be effective in treating certain types of pain, particularly neuropathic pain.

Diclofenac Na is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It's commonly used to treat mild to moderate pain, or signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that is often used to treat nerve pain. It works by affecting the chemicals and nerves in the body that are involved in the cause of seizures and some types of pain. It's particularly effective in treating neuropathic pain.

Ketamine HCl is a powerful anesthetic that provides pain relief by blocking the NMDA receptor, a type of glutamate receptor, in the brain. This blocking action helps to decrease pain sensations.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. It does this by blocking the nerve signals in your body.

Tramadol HCl is a strong painkiller that works in two ways. It binds to the μ-opioid receptor on nerves (the same mechanism that is used by opioids) and it also inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, which inhibits pain signals traveling along the nerves to the brain.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to provide comprehensive pain relief. The gel formulation allows for targeted application, which can be particularly beneficial for localized pain. It also allows for a lower systemic absorption, which can reduce the risk of systemic side effects.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This potent multi-agent pain-relief gel, comprising Amitriptyline HCl, Diclofenac Na, Gabapentin, Ketamine HCl, Lidocaine HCl, and Tramadol HCl, is typically indicated for patients battling persistent pain related to conditions such as neuropathy, fibromyalgia, and post-operative incisional pain. However, its mechanism of action suggests it may also find utility in other medical situations.

For instance, this topical gel may provide relief from various chronic pain conditions where conventional oral medication is ineffective or leads to systemic side effects. This may include patients with osteoarthritis, diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, migraine-related allodynia, and those experiencing musculoskeletal pain caused by muscle strains, sprains, or sport injuries. It may also serve as an effective adjuvant treatment for pain management in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

In addition, this compounded medication may be explored by healthcare providers for its potential role in managing patients diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, a condition characterized by chronic pelvic pain. The gel’s active ingredients can potentially soothe bladder wall inflammation and thus bring much-needed relief to afflicted patients. Furthermore, certain cases of refractory chronic cough, which resists conventional treatment and involves a peripheral neuropathic mechanism, may also benefit from this formulation.

Nonetheless, though these alternate uses show promising potential, they are based on the individual components of the compounded medication and their known therapeutic effects. The actual efficacy of the combination itself in these indications will require more rigorous clinical investigation. It's crucial that prescribing providers weigh the risk-to-benefit ratio for each patient's unique clinical scenario and advocate for patient education regarding potential side effects and proper application techniques.

Such decisions should involve a detailed individual patient assessment, review of medical history, and consideration of other pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic options. Moreover, we strongly encourage compounded product utilization to be guided by a clinician's professional judgment and a strong pharmacist-patient-prescriber relationship.
