This formulation is a compounded topical gel containing Baclofen 2%, Cyclobenzaprine HCl 2%, Ketamine HCl 11.5%, Ketoprofen 15%, and Lidocaine HCl 5%. It is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism, allowing 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 treatment.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic agent that helps to relieve muscle spasms, tightness, and pain. Cyclobenzaprine HCl is another muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Ketamine HCl is a potent analgesic that provides relief from severe pain. Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain in the body by reducing the substances that cause these symptoms. Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes.

This combination of active ingredients makes the formulation highly effective in managing various disease states. It can be used to treat conditions such as neuropathic pain, musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia, and other conditions that involve inflammation and pain. The topical application allows for targeted treatment, reducing the potential for systemic side effects that can occur with oral medications.

For patients, it is important to apply the gel as directed by your healthcare provider, usually to the affected area 3-4 times daily. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and other sensitive areas. Wash your hands thoroughly after application. If you experience any adverse reactions such as skin rash, itching, redness, or severe dizziness, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

For prescribers, please note that this is a compounded medication and should be prescribed based on individual patient needs. Monitor your patient's response to the medication and adjust the dosage or frequency as necessary. As with all medications, this formulation should be used with caution in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the active ingredients.

This topical gel formulation contains a combination of Baclofen, Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Ketamine HCl, Ketoprofen, and Lidocaine HCl. Each of these active ingredients has its own potential for drug interactions, which can be amplified when used in combination. It's important to note that while this formulation is designed for topical use, systemic absorption can still occur, leading to potential interactions with other medications taken orally or through other routes.

Baclofen, a muscle relaxant, can interact with other central nervous system depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids, potentially leading to increased sedation and respiratory depression. Cyclobenzaprine HCl, another muscle relaxant, has similar potential interactions. It can also interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), leading to serious side effects such as hypertensive crisis.

Ketamine HCl, an NMDA receptor antagonist, can interact with other central nervous system depressants, potentially leading to increased sedation and respiratory depression. It can also interact with medications that affect serotonin levels in the brain, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), potentially leading to a condition known as serotonin syndrome.

Ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can interact with other NSAIDs, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It can also interact with blood thinners, such as warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding. Additionally, it can interact with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and beta-blockers, potentially reducing their effectiveness.

Lidocaine HCl, a local anesthetic, can interact with other local anesthetics and with medications that are metabolized by the liver, potentially leading to increased levels of these medications in the body.

This formulation is designed to treat conditions such as muscle pain, inflammation, and neuropathic pain. The combination of active ingredients works synergistically to provide pain relief, reduce inflammation, and relax muscles. However, due to the potential for drug interactions, it's important for patients to inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions with other medications, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help ensure that you receive safe and effective treatment.

This topical gel formulation combines the therapeutic benefits of Baclofen, Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Ketamine HCl, Ketoprofen, and Lidocaine HCl. Each of these active ingredients plays a unique role in managing various disease states, primarily related to pain and muscle spasms.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent. It works by restoring the normal transmission of nerve signals in certain parts of the brain. This helps to reduce muscle spasms, which can be beneficial in conditions such as multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries.

Cyclobenzaprine HCl is another muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. It is commonly used to treat muscle spasms caused by painful muscle conditions.

Ketamine HCl is a potent analgesic that provides pain relief by blocking the NMDA receptor, a type of glutamate receptor in the brain and spinal cord. This action can help to reduce chronic pain, including neuropathic pain.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It is used to treat mild to moderate pain, or inflammation caused by arthritis.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. It is used to relieve pain and discomfort caused by skin irritations, as well as to numb the skin before certain procedures.

When applied topically, this formulation allows for targeted treatment, delivering the active ingredients directly to the area of discomfort. The gel-like consistency ensures easy application and absorption through the skin. The pump mechanism allows for precise dosing and minimizes the risk of contamination.

This formulation can be used to manage a variety of disease states, including but not limited to, chronic pain, neuropathic pain, muscle spasms, and inflammation. As with any medication, it is important to use this product under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Always follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions to ensure the best therapeutic outcome.

This compounded transdermal gel is primarily prescribed for managing moderate to severe pain in patients with varied disease states. It's typically used for pain associated with conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Neuropathic Pain, and other Musculoskeletal conditions due to its multiple active ingredients each targeting different pain pathways. However, the nature and combination of its active ingredients do suggest potential for additional applications.

For example, it could be utilized for treating postherpetic neuralgia (a complication of shingles) and localized diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Baclofen, a muscle relaxer and an antispasmodic agent, could further be used to help ease tightness and stiffness due to conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Likewise, Cyclobenzaprine is typically used for muscle spasms, making this compound potentially useful for patients experiencing spasticity. Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, can numb a specific area, so it could be used for temporary relief from itching and burning caused by insect bites, minor burns, and small cuts.

Ketoprofen, the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug in this formulation, could provide relief in conditions involving inflammation, like arthritis. Ketamine, on the other hand, has been observed to provide rapid relief in instances of severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adding to the literature supporting the potential role of this formulation in certain psychiatric cases, under the guidance and close monitoring of a medical professional.

The exact utility and efficacy of these alternative uses would, of course, depend on multiple factors like the specific patient profile, concurrent medication usage, disease severity and progression, etc. We strongly advise consulting with a healthcare professional before using this product for any application other than what it was originally intended for.
