Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a compounded topical gel containing Cyclobenzaprine HCl 2%, Diclofenac Sodium 2%, Lidocaine HCl 2%, and Tramadol 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 of the formulation ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively into the targeted area.

Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. Tramadol HCl is a strong painkiller used to treat moderate to severe pain.

When combined in a topical gel, these four active ingredients work together to provide relief from various disease states. The anti-inflammatory properties of Diclofenac Sodium, the muscle-relaxing effects of Cyclobenzaprine HCl, the numbing effect of Lidocaine HCl, and the pain-relieving properties of Tramadol HCl can effectively treat conditions such as arthritis, muscle strains, sprains, and other musculoskeletal conditions. The topical application allows for targeted treatment, reducing the potential for systemic side effects often associated with oral medications.

It's important for patients and prescribers to understand that this is a compounded medication, meaning it is made specifically for the patient based on a doctor's prescription. The strength and combination of ingredients can be adjusted to meet the unique needs of each patient. As with any medication, it's important to use this product as directed by your healthcare provider. Side effects can occur, including skin irritation at the application site. If you experience any unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation contains four active ingredients: Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Diclofenac Sodium, Lidocaine HCl, and Tramadol HCl. Each of these ingredients has its own potential for drug interactions, which can be amplified when used in combination. It's important for patients and prescribers to be aware of these potential interactions to ensure safe and effective use of this medication.

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 drugs such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), certain antidepressants, and alcohol, leading to increased sedation and potentially serious side effects such as serotonin syndrome.

Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It may interact with drugs such as aspirin, other NSAIDs, and certain blood pressure medications, potentially leading to increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or kidney damage.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. It may interact with drugs such as certain heart medications, seizure medications, and other local anesthetics, potentially leading to increased risk of serious side effects such as slow or irregular heartbeat, seizures, or severe nervous system reactions.

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 drugs such as certain antidepressants, other opioids, and certain medications for migraines, potentially leading to increased risk of serious side effects such as serotonin syndrome, slowed breathing, or addiction.

This formulation is designed to be applied topically, which can reduce some of the risk of systemic drug interactions. However, it's still important to be aware of potential interactions, especially if the medication is used over a large area of skin or for a prolonged period of time. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements, to ensure safe use of this medication.

This formulation is used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, joint pain, and nerve pain. The combination of active ingredients works to reduce inflammation, numb the affected area, relax the muscles, and provide pain relief. However, it's important to use this medication only as directed by your healthcare provider, and to monitor for any potential side effects or signs of drug interactions.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential drug interactions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help ensure that you can use this medication safely and effectively.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines four active ingredients: Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Diclofenac Sodium, Lidocaine HCl, and Tramadol HCl, each with a unique mechanism of action to provide pain relief and muscle relaxation. The formulation is designed to be applied topically, directly to the skin, where it can be absorbed to target the affected area.

Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. It is particularly effective in treating muscle spasms and associated pain. Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It is commonly used to treat mild to moderate pain, or signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. It works by blocking nerve signals in your body and is often used to relieve pain and discomfort from a wide variety of conditions. Tramadol HCl is an opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain.

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 directly into the affected area, providing targeted treatment and reducing the potential for systemic side effects. This makes it an excellent option for patients who may be unable to take oral medications, or for those who prefer a topical treatment option.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief for a variety of conditions, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. As with any medication, it's important to use it as directed to ensure the best results. If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you're interested in learning more about how it can benefit you, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation, which combines Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Diclofenac Sodium, Lidocaine HCl, and Tramadol HCl, is primarily used in the management and treatment of pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. However, it may have other potential uses.

For instance, the anti-inflammatory property of Diclofenac Sodium can be beneficial in addressing conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylitis, and gout. In these conditions, the gel can potentially help to alleviate stiffness, swelling, and joint pain, providing relief to patients. Similarly, Tramadol's analgesic properties can be beneficial in managing post-operative pain or severe pain conditions that are not manageable by other less potent analgesics.

The muscle relaxant property of Cyclobenzaprine HCl could be beneficial for patients experiencing muscle spasms or stiffness due to conditions such as fibromyalgia or cerebral palsy. Lidocaine HCl, due to its local anesthetic properties, can be utilized for local pain relief in conditions such as post-herpetic neuralgia. It might also be beneficial for patients who have undergone minor surgical procedures.

This gel formulation, by virtue of its semisolid consistency, renders it suitable for patients who prefer topical application over oral medications because of difficulties with swallowing or potential gastrointestinal side effects. The pump dispenser mechanism also allows for easy and precise application to the targeted area.

However, it must be stressed that any off-label use of this formulation must be overseen and approved by a qualified healthcare professional. Therefore, both patients and prescribers are strongly advised to first consult with their healthcare provider or pharmacist before using this formulation for any indications outside of its officially approved uses.
