This compounded formulation contains Baclofen, Diclofenac Sodium, Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, and Pentoxifylline. Each of these medications has its own potential for drug interactions, which can be increased when used in combination. It's important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
Baclofen, a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent, may interact with other central nervous system depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids, potentially leading to increased sedation and respiratory depression. Concurrent use with antihypertensive drugs may result in additive hypotensive effects.
Diclofenac Sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), may interact with anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, and other NSAIDs, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It may also reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs and diuretics. Concurrent use with lithium or methotrexate can increase their levels in the body, potentially leading to toxicity.
Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant, may increase the effects of other central nervous system depressants, including alcohol, antihistamines, and opioids. It may also interact with antacids, reducing the absorption of gabapentin.
Ketoprofen, another NSAID in this formulation, shares similar potential interactions with Diclofenac Sodium. It may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, and other NSAIDs. It may also interact with antihypertensive drugs, diuretics, lithium, and methotrexate.
Pentoxifylline, a xanthine derivative, may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs. It may also interact with theophylline, leading to increased theophylline levels in the body.
This formulation is intended for topical use, 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 use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider and report any side effects promptly.
This compounded formulation is typically used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in conditions like neuropathic pain, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions. The combination of these medications works synergistically to reduce pain and inflammation, improve blood flow, and relax muscles in the affected area.

This formulation is a combination of five active ingredients: Baclofen, Diclofenac Sodium, Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, and Pentoxifylline, each playing a unique role in managing pain and inflammation. The gel is designed to be applied topically, directly to the area of discomfort, allowing for targeted treatment and absorption through the skin.
Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent. It works by blocking nerve signals from the spinal cord, thereby reducing muscle spasms, tightness, and pain. In this formulation, it helps to alleviate muscle pain and discomfort associated with various conditions.
Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It is commonly used to treat mild to moderate pain, or signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant and nerve pain medication. It works by calming down nerve activity, thereby reducing pain sensation. It is commonly used to treat nerve pain caused by conditions such as shingles or diabetic neuropathy.
Ketoprofen is another NSAID that works by blocking the body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever. Ketoprofen is used to relieve pain from various conditions, including arthritis, sprains and strains, and menstrual cramps.
Pentoxifylline is a xanthine derivative that works by improving blood flow and reducing certain types of inflammation. It is used to treat intermittent claudication (pain, cramping, numbness, or weakness in the foot, hip, thigh, or buttocks) in certain patients.
Together, these ingredients work synergistically to provide relief from various types of pain and inflammation. The gel formulation allows for easy and precise application, and the active ingredients are absorbed through the skin directly to the area of discomfort for targeted treatment.

This transdermal gel combining Baclofen, Diclofenac Sodium, Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, and Pentoxifylline is chiefly used for localized pain relief, neuropathic pain, and inflammation management in conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and peripheral neuropathy. However, it may have other therapeutic uses due to the distinct pharmacological properties of its components.
Besides pain, Baclofen, a muscle relaxant, has been used in managing muscle spasticity resulting from conditions like multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury. Diclofenac Sodium, being a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is not just limited to inflammation and pain but may also work to reduce fever. Gabapentin, a key player in neuropathic pain treatment, is also used in specific cases to manage seizures and restless leg syndrome. Ketoprofen, another anti-inflammatory and analgesic, could be employed in the management of menstrual pain. Pentoxifylline, a xanthine derivative, has been prescribed for intermittent claudication (pain in the leg muscles due to inadequate blood flow), and to improve blood flow in certain circulatory conditions.
Always remember, this gel is intended for topical application, as absorption through the skin allows for direct delivery to the affected area, possibly minimizing systemic side effects seen with oral administration of these drugs. However, it's worth noting that these potential uses beyond the primary indication are largely dependent on the individual condition and should be discussed with a healthcare provider before application. Some ingredients might not be suitable in certain clinical situations and could potentially interact with other medications, hence the importance of adequate medical supervision.
Also, this should not replace, but only supplement systemically administered medications as recommended. Patients should not change their dosing or administration without consulting their healthcare professional. While this gel has been formulated to maximize relief and minimize side effects, skin sensitivity reactions may sometimes occur. Patients are advised to notify their healthcare provider if they experience any unusual symptoms.
