This formulation is a compounded topical gel containing Camphor 0.5%, Ketoprofen 20%, Lidocaine 4%, and Menthol 1%. It is designed to be applied directly to the skin for targeted treatment. The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application.
Camphor and Menthol are topical analgesics that provide a cooling sensation and help to numb the skin, reducing pain and discomfort. They are often used to relieve minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with arthritis, simple backache, strains, and sprains.
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 conditions such as arthritis.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. It is used on normal, unbroken skin or on the outer genital area to prevent pain before certain procedures such as inserting a needle, skin grafts, or skin laser surgery.
This formulation is ideal for patients who require targeted pain relief, particularly those suffering from conditions such as arthritis, backache, strains, sprains, and other similar conditions. The gel formulation allows for direct application to the affected area, providing localized relief without the systemic side effects often associated with oral medications.
Prescribers should note that while this formulation is designed for topical use, it should not be applied to broken or irritated skin, or used in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. As with all medications, it should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

This formulation contains Camphor, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine, and Menthol. Each of these ingredients has its own unique properties and potential interactions.
Camphor is a substance that relieves pain and reduces itching. It has been used for many years in topical creams and ointments to relieve pain and discomfort. It may interact with other topical medications or substances applied to the same area of skin. It is also not recommended for use with heat pads or tight bandages.
Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces hormones causing inflammation and pain in the body. It may interact with other NSAIDs, blood thinners, lithium, methotrexate, diuretics, steroids, and heart or blood pressure medications. It is also not recommended for use in patients with a history of heart disease or stroke, unless directed by a doctor.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. It may interact with other local anesthetics or medications that are applied to the same area of skin. It is also not recommended for use in patients with a history of heart rhythm disorders, unless directed by a doctor.
Menthol provides a cooling sensation when applied to the skin and can help to relieve minor pain and irritation. It may interact with other topical medications or substances applied to the same area of skin. It is also not recommended for use with heat pads or tight bandages.
This formulation is designed to be applied topically to the skin for targeted treatment. It is not intended for oral ingestion or application to open wounds or damaged skin. It should be used as directed by a healthcare provider, and patients should avoid applying it to the eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes.
As with any medication, it is important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.

This formulation combines four active ingredients: Camphor, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine, and Menthol, each with a unique mechanism of action to provide relief from pain and inflammation.
Camphor, a terpenoid, works by stimulating nerve endings sensitive to heat and cold, thereby producing a warm sensation when gently rubbed on the affected area. This sensation helps to distract the brain from pain signals, providing temporary relief from discomfort. Camphor also has mild anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce swelling and inflammation.
Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause inflammation and pain. By reducing these substances, Ketoprofen helps to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in the area where the gel is applied.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. When applied topically, Lidocaine causes a temporary loss of sensation in the area, providing relief from pain. It works by stopping the sodium entering the nerve ending at the site of the pain, which prevents an electrical signal building up and passing along the nerve fibres to the brain.
Menthol provides a cooling sensation on the skin, which can help to numb pain and reduce inflammation. It works by activating the TRPM8 receptors in the skin, which are responsible for the well-known cold sensation. This cooling effect can help to distract the brain from pain signals for additional relief.
This formulation is 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 skin for targeted treatment.
It provides a multi-pronged approach to pain management, addressing both the sensation of pain and the underlying inflammation that often causes it.

This formulation, which contains Camphor, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine and Menthol, is primarily known for its use in the management of various pain-related conditions. However, there are notable secondary uses for this topical gel.
First, due to the inclusion of Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, the gel can be used for minor burns, sunburns, and insect bites, reducing pain and discomfort on the skin's surface.
Second, the Menthol and Camphor ingredients provide a cooling and warming sensation respectively, which can offer symptomatic relief for minor muscle aches and joint pains, and may alsobe beneficial in relieving the discomfort from fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy. They also exhibit mild antipruritic (anti-itch) effects, which can be helpful in alleviating the itchiness related to skin conditions such as hives or rashes.
It’s important to note that while the formulation can provide symptomatic relief for a range of conditions, it should not be used as a solitary treatment for systemic diseases or conditions requiring more than symptomatic management. Always consult with a healthcare provider for full therapeutic options.
In conclusion, while primarily intended for managing pain, this formulation can also be used for various skin conditions and muscular aches due to its unique combination of anaesthetic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipruritic properties. However, individual responses may vary, and it is highly recommended that patients discuss with their healthcare provider prior to usage.
