Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Baclofen 30 mg/Gabapentin 120 mg Vaginal Suppository is a specialized compounded medication designed to deliver targeted relief for specific conditions. This formulation is a solid dosage form that is inserted into the vagina, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. The medication is then absorbed locally or systemically, depending on the intended treatment.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxer and an antispastic agent. It is used to treat muscle symptoms such as spasm, pain, and stiffness. Gabapentin, on the other hand, is an anticonvulsant and nerve pain medication used to treat seizures and pain caused by shingles. In this compounded formulation, both medications work together to provide relief from symptoms associated with certain conditions.

This formulation is often used in the treatment of conditions such as vulvodynia and vestibulodynia, chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, and other conditions that cause severe pelvic or vaginal pain. The combination of Baclofen and Gabapentin in a suppository form allows for targeted, localized treatment, which can lead to more effective pain management and relief for patients suffering from these conditions.

It's important to note that this medication should be used as directed by a healthcare provider. The dosage and frequency of use will depend on the individual patient's condition and response to treatment. Side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, tired feeling, or constipation. If any of these effects persist or worsen, patients should inform their doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Baclofen and Gabapentin are both central nervous system depressants. They work by slowing down the brain's activity and interfering with the nerve signals that cause certain types of pain. This combination is often used to treat conditions such as neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and certain types of seizures. However, when used together, they can have additive effects, which may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating.

Patients should be advised to avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of these drugs such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. In more severe cases, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, fainting, coma, or even death could occur.

Patients should also be cautious about using other medications that can also affect the central nervous system. This includes sleep aids, antihistamines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and other muscle relaxants. If you are taking any of these medications, please inform your healthcare provider.

Furthermore, Baclofen and Gabapentin can interact with certain types of food. For instance, consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of Gabapentin, potentially amplifying its effects and side effects. Therefore, it is advisable to discuss your diet and any potential food-drug interactions with your healthcare provider.

It's important to note that everyone's body responds differently to medications, and what works well for one person may not work as well for another. Therefore, it's crucial to monitor your body's response to the medication and report any side effects to your healthcare provider immediately.

Lastly, it's important to remember that this medication should only be used as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.

If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, its potential interactions, or how it may affect you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your health.

A small arrow pointing down

The Baclofen 30 mg/Gabapentin 120 mg Vaginal Suppository is a unique formulation designed to deliver medication directly to the affected area. This formulation is a solid dosage form that is inserted into the vagina, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. The medication is then absorbed locally or systemically, depending on the specific needs of the patient.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxer and an antispastic agent. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA) in the brain. Gabapentin, on the other hand, is an anticonvulsant and nerve pain medication. It works by affecting the chemicals and nerves in the body that are involved in the cause of seizures and some types of pain.

In this formulation, the combination of Baclofen and Gabapentin is used to manage and treat conditions such as neuropathic pain, muscle spasms, and certain types of chronic pain. The direct application of the medication to the vagina allows for targeted treatment, potentially reducing systemic side effects and increasing the effectiveness of the medication.

It's important to note that the use of this formulation should be under the guidance of a healthcare provider. The dosage and frequency of use will depend on the individual patient's condition and response to treatment. As with any medication, there may be potential side effects, and patients should be monitored for any adverse reactions.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

The Baclofen 30 mg/Gabapentin 120 mg Vaginal Suppository is primarily used to manage and alleviate pain associated with certain ailments. However, beyond its principal therapeutic role, there are other potential uses for this formulation, particularly in the realm of pain management. Each of the two active ingredients - Baclofen and Gabapentin - bear specific pharmacological properties, which broaden its range of possible applications.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and an antispastic agent, primarily used in the treatment of muscle symptoms that occur as a result of conditions like multiple sclerosis. It's also used off-label for alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Gabapentin, on the other hand, is originally an anticonvulsant medication, commonly used in the treatment of epilepsy. Apart from that, it's been recognized for its efficacy in repairing nerve damages, thus contributing to its broad utilization in treating neuralgic pain.

Gabapentin, when used as a part of this compound, can potentially offer relief in situations involving neuropathic pain. It has been used in cases involving fibromyalgia, postherpetic neuralgia, burning mouth syndrome, and even restless leg syndrome, whereby the Gabapentin component can suppress the restless-feeling in extremities. In addition, due to its calming effect on the nerves, it’s also found to be effective in relieving chronic anxiety disorders and insomnia.

Baclofen, in this suppository form, could also offer potential benefits to patients suffering from conditions involving muscle spasms or cramping, like spastic cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, or even hiccups related to certain medical treatments. This is because Baclofen works to lessen the severity and frequency of muscle spasms that cause pain, stiffness, discomfort, and uncontrolled movements in these conditions.

It is important, however, to note that while other uses are possible, these will depend on numerous factors such as individual patient condition, other ongoing treatments, and overall health. Any off-label uses for these medications should always be discussed and prescribed under the direction of a healthcare professional. As compounding pharmacists, we are committed to providing accurate, beneficial, and safe medication advice.
