This formulation is a semisolid preparation of Camphor 2%, Cyclobenzaprine HCl 5%, Ketoprofen 10%, Lidocaine 2%, Menthol 2%, and Tramadol HCl 5% Topical Cream. It is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application on the skin. The active ingredients are designed for localized treatment or absorption.
The cream is used to treat a variety of disease states. Camphor and Menthol provide a cooling effect and help to relieve minor pain. Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses to the brain. Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces hormones causing pain and inflammation in the body. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. Tramadol HCl is an opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain.
This topical cream formulation contains a combination of active ingredients: Camphor, Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine, Menthol, and Tramadol HCl. Each of these ingredients has a specific role in managing various disease states, primarily related to pain and inflammation. However, it's important to be aware of potential drug interactions that may occur with this formulation.
Camphor and Menthol are topical analgesics that provide a cooling sensation and help to numb the skin, reducing pain and discomfort. They are generally safe for use with other medications, but should not be used with heat, as this can increase absorption and potentially lead to toxicity.
Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. It may interact with other CNS depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, and antihistamines, leading to increased sedation and potentially respiratory depression.
Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It may interact with other NSAIDs, blood thinners, and corticosteroids, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It may also interact with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, and certain diuretics, potentially reducing their effectiveness.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness in the area where it is applied. It has minimal systemic absorption, but if used with other local anesthetics or class I antiarrhythmics, it may increase the risk of systemic toxicity.
Tramadol HCl is an opioid pain medication that works by changing the way your brain and nervous system respond to pain. It may interact with other opioids, benzodiazepines, alcohol, and certain antidepressants, potentially leading to increased sedation, respiratory depression, and even overdose.
It's important to note that while this formulation is designed for topical use, systemic absorption can still occur, especially if used over large areas of the body, in high doses, or for extended periods of time. Therefore, it's crucial to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider and report any side effects or concerns immediately.
This formulation is primarily used to treat localized pain and inflammation, such as that associated with arthritis, muscle strains, sprains, and other similar conditions.

This topical cream is a unique formulation that combines several active ingredients, each with its own mechanism of action, to provide relief from various disease states. It is designed to be applied directly to the skin, where it can be absorbed locally to provide targeted treatment.
Camphor and menthol are both topical analgesics that work by causing a sensation of cooling or warmth, which can help to distract from pain. They also help to increase blood flow to the area, which can aid in healing. Camphor has additional anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. This can help to relieve muscle spasms and associated pain. It is particularly effective when used in combination with other pain relievers, such as tramadol HCl.
Tramadol HCl is a strong painkiller that works by blocking the transmission of pain signals in the central nervous system. This can help to reduce the perception of pain, making it easier to manage.
Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. This can help to relieve pain and reduce swelling.

This complex formulation, containing Camphor, Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine, Menthol, and Tramadol HCl, is primarily aimed at providing pain relief for localized areas of the body. Specifically, it targets conditions connected with inflammation, muscle tension, or neuropathic discomfort. Despite its typical utilization focused on those area, there may be additional applications for this formulation.
Alternative uses could encompass the management of minor burns, cuts, abrasions, or other skin irritations, given the analgesic, anti-inflammatory and cooling effects provided by the ingredients, including Lidocaine, Ketoprofen, and Menthol. These components could potentially soothe injured skin, reduce swelling, and alleviate discomfort. Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that such application should only be considered for minor injuries, with more severe traumatic injuries requiring professional medical attention.
A secondary use of this formulation could be seen to manage conditions such as certain types of dermatitis (like eczema), since the anti-inflammatory action of Ketoprofen might potentially help to alleviate skin inflammation and associated discomfort from such conditions. Additionally, muscle spasms and related discomfort, often associated with conditions like fibromyalgia, could also be potentially managed with this formulation due to the muscle relaxant effects of Cyclobenzaprine HCl.
Furthermore, ingredients like camphor and menthol can potentially offer their cooling or warming sensations in the treatment of minor muscle or joint pain associated with sprains, arthritis, bruising, or backaches.
All of these applications however, require careful consideration and should not be undertaken without advice from a healthcare professional. Off-label use of this medicine can potentially lead to risks and side effects if not used properly. Moreover, patient's individual medical history, allergies, and current medication regimen should always be taken into account before advising or starting a new treatment.
