Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bupivacaine 7.5%/Prilocaine 30% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions. This unique formulation combines two potent local anesthetics, bupivacaine and prilocaine, which synergistically work to alleviate pain and inflammation. The topical cream is primarily used to manage post-surgical pain, nerve pain, and muscle spasms, and to reduce the inflammation and swelling associated with these conditions.

The dual-action of bupivacaine and prilocaine in this formulation delivers a robust analgesic effect, providing more effective pain relief than either anesthetic could achieve independently. The cream is applied directly to the affected area, offering a targeted approach to pain management. This ensures that the active ingredients are concentrated where they are needed most, maximizing their efficacy while minimizing potential side effects.

It is crucial to understand that this formulation should not be applied to open wounds or broken skin. This is because the active ingredients could potentially enter the bloodstream in higher concentrations than intended, leading to unwanted side effects. Always ensure that the skin is intact before applying this topical cream.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we take pride in offering this compounded formulation to our patients. We understand that each patient's needs are unique, and we are committed to providing personalized solutions to meet these needs. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to manage your condition, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team is always ready to assist you in finding the most suitable treatment option for your specific needs.
