This formulation is a compounded topical gel containing Baclofen 2%, Bupivacaine HCL 1%, Cyclobenzaprine HCL 2%, and Ketoprofen 10%. It is designed to be dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively into the targeted area for optimal therapeutic effect.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic agent that helps to relieve muscle spasms, tightness, and pain. Bupivacaine HCL is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve impulses, thereby reducing pain and discomfort. Cyclobenzaprine HCL is another muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain, while Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.

This unique combination of ingredients makes this formulation particularly effective in managing various disease states. It can be used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, inflammation, spasms, and neuropathic pain. It may also be beneficial for patients with conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. The topical application allows for targeted treatment, reducing systemic side effects often associated with oral medications.

It's important to note that this formulation should be used as directed by a healthcare provider. Patients should apply the gel to the affected area as instructed, and avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other sensitive areas. If any adverse reactions occur, such as severe skin irritation or allergic reactions, patients should discontinue use and contact their healthcare provider immediately.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation contains a combination of Baclofen, Bupivacaine HCL, Cyclobenzaprine HCL, and Ketoprofen. Each of these active ingredients has its own potential for drug interactions, which can be amplified when used in combination. It's important to consider these interactions when prescribing or using this medication.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent. It may interact with other central nervous system depressants such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, and antihistamines, potentially leading to increased sedation or respiratory depression. Concurrent use with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may result in hypotension.

Bupivacaine HCL is a local anesthetic. It may interact with other local anesthetics or medications with local anesthetic properties, potentially leading to additive systemic toxicity. It may also interact with class III antiarrhythmics, potentially leading to additive cardiac effects.

Cyclobenzaprine HCL is a muscle relaxant. It may interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), potentially leading to a life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome. It may also interact with other central nervous system depressants, potentially leading to increased sedation or respiratory depression.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It may interact with anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, and other NSAIDs, potentially leading to increased risk of bleeding. It may also interact with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), or beta-blockers, potentially leading to decreased antihypertensive effect. Concurrent use with lithium or methotrexate may increase the plasma concentrations of these drugs.

This formulation is intended for topical application, which may reduce the risk of systemic drug interactions. However, systemic absorption can still occur, especially with prolonged use or application to large areas of skin. Therefore, it's important to consider potential drug interactions even with topical use.

This formulation is used to treat various disease states, including muscle spasms, pain, and inflammation. Baclofen and Cyclobenzaprine HCL help to relax muscles, Bupivacaine HCL provides local anesthesia, and Ketoprofen reduces inflammation and pain. By combining these active ingredients in a single formulation, it provides targeted treatment for these conditions.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential drug interactions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help ensure that you can use this medication safely and effectively.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a combination of four active ingredients: Baclofen, Bupivacaine HCL, Cyclobenzaprine HCL, and Ketoprofen. Each of these ingredients plays a unique role in managing pain and inflammation, making this formulation a potent option for targeted treatment.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent. It works by inhibiting the transmission of reflexes at the spinal level, which can help to alleviate muscle spasms, pain, and stiffness. This makes it particularly useful in conditions where muscle spasms are a significant issue, such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries.

Bupivacaine HCL is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking nerve impulses in the body, which helps to numb the area and reduce pain. This can be particularly useful in conditions where there is localized pain, such as post-surgical pain or pain from injuries.

Cyclobenzaprine HCL is another muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain, helping to alleviate muscle spasms. This can be particularly useful in conditions where muscle spasms are causing discomfort or pain, such as fibromyalgia or after a muscle injury.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. This makes it particularly useful in conditions where inflammation is causing discomfort or pain, such as arthritis or acute injury.

The formulation is designed to be applied topically, which means it is applied directly to the skin over the area where relief is needed. The gel-like consistency allows for easy and precise application, and the pump mechanism ensures that the correct dose is dispensed each time. The active ingredients are then absorbed through the skin, providing targeted treatment to the area where they are needed most.

This formulation can be used to treat a variety of disease states, including but not limited to: muscle spasms, post-surgical pain, localized pain from injuries, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and acute injuries. As always, it is important to use this medication as directed by a healthcare provider, and to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

The primary use of Baclofen 2%/Bupivacaine HCl 1%/Cyclobenzaprine HCl 2%/Ketoprofen 10% Topical Gel is for pain relief, specifically in cases of musculoskeletal conditions, neuralgia, nociceptive pain, and neuropathic pain. The ingredients combine to provide both muscle relaxation and pain relief benefits. Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic, Bupivacaine is a local anesthetic, Cyclobenzaprine is used for muscle spasms relief, and Ketoprofen is primarily used for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Beyond these primary uses, this formulation can also be beneficial in other scenarios. For instance, it may be used topically for symptomatic relief of migraines or tension headaches due to its muscle relaxant and analgesic properties. Moreover, the anesthetic properties of Bupivacaine may provide some relief in instances of localized superficial pain of the skin, such as minor burns, cuts, or insect bites. It's also worth noting that this formulation could have potential uses in treating symptoms related to conditions like fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome - specifically muscular tenderness and spasms, though more research is required to substantiate this benefit.

The gel's localized application, ease of use, and precise dosage enable it to be used in a targeted manner, minimizing systemic exposure to these drugs and reducing the risk of undesirable side effects. However, patients with known hypersensitivity to any of these ingredients or women who are pregnant or nursing should not use these formulations, as the safety and efficacy in these populations have not been established. Prescribers should be mindful of the potential for local skin reactions, such as burning or irritation, in some individuals.

Please note that the information provided here is not exhaustive and this compound might have other potential uses or benefits not listed in this write-up. We strongly recommend prescribers and patients to reach out to us with any questions regarding this formulation, its other potential uses, or if there are specific conditions you are curious about treating with this compound.
