Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a compounded topical gel containing Baclofen 2%, Bupivacaine HCl 2%, Cyclobenzaprine HCl 2%, and Diclofenac Sodium 3%. 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 works synergistically to provide relief from various disease states. It is particularly effective in managing conditions such as muscle sprains, strains, arthritis, and other types of chronic pain. The topical application allows for targeted treatment, reducing systemic side effects often associated with oral medications.

Patients should apply the gel to the affected area as directed by their healthcare provider. It is important to wash hands before and after application and avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds. As with any medication, potential side effects may include skin irritation or allergic reactions. Patients should report any unusual symptoms to their healthcare provider immediately.

Prescribers should consider this formulation for patients who require targeted pain relief and muscle relaxation, particularly those who may not tolerate or respond to oral medications. As this is a compounded medication, prescribers have the flexibility to adjust the concentrations of the active ingredients to best meet the individual needs of their patients.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Baclofen, Bupivacaine HCl, Cyclobenzaprine HCl, and Diclofenac Sodium, all of which are medications with different mechanisms of action. Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent, Bupivacaine HCl is a local anesthetic, Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant, and Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This combination is designed to provide targeted relief from pain and inflammation, particularly in conditions such as arthritis, muscle spasms, and certain types of neuropathic pain.

It's important to be aware of potential drug interactions when using this formulation. Baclofen may interact with CNS depressants such as opioids, benzodiazepines, and alcohol, potentially leading to increased sedation. Bupivacaine HCl may interact with other local anesthetics or medications with similar metabolic pathways, potentially leading to increased systemic exposure. Cyclobenzaprine HCl may interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), potentially leading to a life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome. Diclofenac Sodium may interact with anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), potentially increasing the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. This will help the healthcare provider to monitor for drug interactions and adjust the treatment plan as necessary. Patients should also avoid consuming alcohol while using this formulation, as it may increase the risk of CNS depression.

Prescribers should monitor patients closely for signs of drug interactions, such as increased sedation, serotonin syndrome, or gastrointestinal bleeding. They should also consider the patient's overall health status, other medications, and individual risk factors when deciding to prescribe this formulation. Regular follow-up appointments may be necessary to monitor the patient's response to treatment and adjust the dosage as necessary.

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, tightness, and pain. This can be particularly beneficial for conditions 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 can be particularly beneficial for post-surgical pain or other conditions that cause severe localized pain.

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 can be particularly beneficial for conditions such as fibromyalgia or other musculoskeletal conditions.

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

The semisolid formulation is designed to be easily applied to the skin, allowing for targeted treatment. The active ingredients are absorbed through the skin, providing direct relief to the affected area. This can help to reduce systemic side effects and improve patient compliance.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief for a variety of conditions, it's not suitable for everyone. Patients with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain other medications may not be able to use this formulation. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

This topical gel formulation, containing baclofen, bupivacaine, cyclobenzaprine, and diclofenac sodium, is primarily used for local pain relief associated with various conditions such as musculoskeletal disorders and neuropathic pain. The combined effect of these components aims to provide substantial analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits to patients.

Apart from being a potent analgesic combination, this formulation might also be used for other purposes.
