Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a compounded topical gel containing Baclofen 2%, Bupivacaine HCl 1%, Cyclobenzaprine HCl 2%, and Diclofenac Sodium 5%. 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 for targeted treatment.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent that works by calming the nerves and reducing muscle tension. Bupivacaine HCl is a local anesthetic that provides pain relief by blocking nerve signals in your body. Cyclobenzaprine HCl is another muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

This unique combination of ingredients makes this formulation particularly effective for treating a variety of disease states. It can be used to manage pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, muscle sprains and strains, and other musculoskeletal disorders. It can also be used to relieve muscle spasms and nerve pain, providing a multi-faceted approach to pain management.

As a topical formulation, it offers the advantage of localized treatment, reducing the potential for systemic side effects often associated with oral medications. It is important to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider, and it should be applied only to the affected area. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Remember, this is a compounded medication, which means it is made specifically for you based on a prescription from your healthcare provider. It is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a personalized treatment option designed to meet your unique healthcare needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation contains Baclofen, Bupivacaine HCl, Cyclobenzaprine HCl, and Diclofenac Sodium. Each of these active ingredients has its own potential for drug interactions, which can be amplified when used in combination. It's important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Baclofen, a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent, may interact with other central nervous system depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, and antihistamines, potentially leading to increased sedation and respiratory depression. It may also interact with antihypertensive drugs, potentially enhancing their effects and causing hypotension.

Bupivacaine HCl, a local anesthetic, may interact with other local anesthetics and antiarrhythmic drugs such as lidocaine and mexiletine, potentially leading to additive systemic toxicity. It may also interact with drugs that can cause methemoglobinemia, such as sulfonamides, nitrites, and certain antimalarials.

Cyclobenzaprine HCl, a muscle relaxant, may interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), potentially leading to serious, life-threatening side effects. It may also interact with other central nervous system depressants, tricyclic antidepressants, and serotonergic drugs, potentially leading to increased sedation, serotonin syndrome, or increased heart rate.

Diclofenac Sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), may interact with anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), potentially increasing the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It may also interact with other NSAIDs, corticosteroids, alcohol, and certain antihypertensives, potentially leading to increased risk of kidney damage, ulcers, or impaired blood pressure control.

This formulation is typically used for the management of localized pain and inflammation, as well as muscle spasms. The combination of these active ingredients allows for targeted treatment, potentially reducing systemic side effects. However, it's important to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider, and to monitor for potential side effects or drug interactions.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a combination of four active ingredients: Baclofen, Bupivacaine HCl, Cyclobenzaprine HCl, and Diclofenac Sodium. Each of these ingredients plays a unique role in managing pain and inflammation, and their combined effect can provide significant relief for a variety of disease states.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent. It works by inhibiting the transmission of reflexes at the spinal level, which can help to reduce 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 can help to numb the area and reduce pain. This makes it particularly useful for localized pain relief, 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, which can help to relieve muscle spasms. This makes it particularly useful in conditions where muscle spasms are causing pain or discomfort, such as fibromyalgia or various types of arthritis.

Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. This makes it particularly useful for treating pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

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.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief for a variety of conditions, it is not a cure. It is designed to manage symptoms and improve quality of life, but it does not address the underlying cause of the disease state. As always, it's important to discuss your treatment options with your healthcare provider to ensure that you are receiving the most appropriate care for your specific needs.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you would like more information about how it can be used to manage your condition, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation primarily contains agents with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxing properties, and is typically used for managing localized musculoskeletal pain such as acute sprains or strains, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions that may be associated with muscle spasm and inflammation. However, it may have other potential uses due to the nature of its active constituents.

In addition to musculoskeletal disorders, it may prove beneficial in the management of other pain disorders involving neuropathic pain. These may include conditions such as fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy or post-herpetic neuralgia. The presence of bupivacaine, a local anesthetic, and baclofen, a muscle relaxant which also acts on the central nervous system, provide a multimodal approach to managing neuropathic pain. The diclofenac sodium, an NSAID, offers added analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits while cyclobenzaprine, another muscle relaxant, works to alleviate muscle spasms associated with these conditions.

Outside of pain management, there may be potential for using this formulation in managing symptoms associated with skin disorders that may have an inflammatory component, such as psoriasis or dermatitis. The anti-inflammatory action of diclofenac could potentially deliver some relief in reducing inflammatory-related symptoms, however, further studies may be needed to fully ascertain the viability of this use.

It is imperative to note that this formulation is intended for topical use only and should not be applied on broken skin or open wounds. As always, its use should be guided by a healthcare professional and patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their healthcare provider.

This overview is not exhaustive and careful patient-specific considerations should always be taken into account. Should you have any further questions or require more detailed information about this formulation, its ingredients, or other potential uses, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
