This formulation is a compounded topical gel containing Baclofen 2%, Ketoprofen 10%, and Lidocaine HCl 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 into the targeted area for optimal therapeutic effect.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic agent that works by reducing muscle spasms, relieving pain, and improving muscle movement. Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces hormones causing inflammation and pain in the body. Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body, thereby reducing pain and discomfort.

This unique combination of active ingredients makes this formulation particularly effective in managing various disease states. It can be used to treat conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, and inflammation. The topical application allows for targeted treatment, reducing systemic side effects often associated with oral medications.

Patients using this formulation should apply it as directed by their healthcare provider, typically to the affected area 3-4 times daily. It is important to wash hands before and after application and avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds. Side effects may include skin irritation at the application site. If these persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Prescribers should consider this formulation for patients who have not responded to or cannot tolerate oral medications, or for those who prefer a topical treatment option. It is also an excellent choice for localized conditions where systemic treatment may not be necessary or desirable.

This compounded formulation contains Baclofen, Ketoprofen, and Lidocaine HCl, each of which may interact with other medications. It's important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, 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 or respiratory depression. Concurrent use with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may result in hypotension. Baclofen may also interact with antidiabetic agents, potentially requiring adjustment of the antidiabetic medication dosage.

Ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), may interact with anticoagulants, increasing the risk of bleeding. It may also interact with other NSAIDs, corticosteroids, or alcohol, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding. Ketoprofen may reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive agents and diuretics. It may also interact with lithium, leading to increased lithium levels, and with methotrexate, increasing the toxicity of methotrexate.

Lidocaine HCl, a local anesthetic, may interact with other local anesthetics or medications structurally related to amide-type local anesthetics, potentially leading to additive systemic toxicity. It may also interact with antiarrhythmic drugs, potentially leading to additive myocardial depression.

This formulation is intended for topical use and is designed to treat a variety of conditions. Baclofen can help to relieve muscle spasms in conditions like multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy. Ketoprofen can help to reduce inflammation and pain in conditions like arthritis or acute injury. Lidocaine HCl can provide local anesthesia, numbing the skin and underlying tissues to reduce pain or discomfort.

It's important to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin, and avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, or other mucous membranes. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the medication, unless your hands are the area being treated.

If you have any questions about this medication or its potential interactions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help ensure that your treatment is safe and effective.

The Baclofen 2%/Ketoprofen 10%/Lidocaine HCl 5% Topical Gel is a unique formulation that combines three active ingredients, each with a specific role in managing pain and inflammation. This formulation is designed to be applied topically, directly to the skin, where it can be absorbed to provide targeted relief.

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 makes it particularly useful in conditions where muscle spasms contribute to pain and discomfort.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing the levels of these chemicals, Ketoprofen can help to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking nerve signals in your body, which can help to numb the area and provide temporary relief from pain and discomfort. This makes it particularly useful in conditions where pain is a primary symptom.

The gel formulation allows for easy and precise application, and the pump mechanism ensures that the correct dose is dispensed each time. The gel is designed to be absorbed through the skin, allowing the active ingredients to work directly at the site of pain or inflammation. This can provide more targeted relief than oral medications, which must be absorbed through the digestive system and distributed throughout the body.

This formulation can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including but not limited to, muscle spasms, arthritis, and other conditions that cause pain and inflammation. It can also be used to manage pain following surgery or injury. As with any medication, it is important to use this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider.

Besides the primary use of this compounded formulation, Baclofen 2%/Ketoprofen 10%/Lidocaine HCl 5% Topical Gel also possesses potential benefits for a range of other conditions. The combination of active ingredients in this gel can provide relief in various disease states and conditions where inflammation and pain are prevalent.

For instance, Baclofen, being a muscle relaxant, in conjunction with Ketoprofen, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID), and Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, may be beneficial in alleviating pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and strains/sprains. This compounded formulation might also be helpful in managing various neuropathic conditions, such as post-herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy among others.

The inherent muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, and anesthetic properties of this formulation might make it an adjunct treatment option in sports injuries and physical therapy, where immediate alleviation of pain and inflammation could speed up recovery and aid in progressive physiotherapy sessions. It may also be used as a part of multi-modal pain management in certain chronic pain conditions, including but not limited to fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

With careful counseling on appropriate application and usage, this compounded topical gel might also be considered in certain dermatologic conditions characterized by inflammation and/or pain. However, use in these conditions should be done after thorough risk evaluation and recommendation from a dermatologist, to avoid any potential adverse effects or unwanted drug reactions.

The prescribing physician should evaluate the potential benefits of using this formulation for off-label indications based on their clinical judgement, balancing the clinical need, potential risks, and available alternative treatments. As with any medication, this compound should be used as directed by a healthcare professional, ensuring the patient’s unique health history, current medications, potential drug interactions, and individual response are taken into account.
