Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a unique combination of Cyclobenzaprine HCl 3%, Ketoprofen 15%, and Lidocaine 5% in a transdermal gel. Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. This combination of ingredients is designed to provide targeted relief from pain and inflammation.

The transdermal gel formulation allows for the active ingredients to be absorbed directly through the skin, providing localized relief to the affected area. The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application. This is particularly beneficial for patients who may have difficulty swallowing pills or who prefer a non-invasive method of medication administration.

This formulation can be used to treat a variety of disease states. Cyclobenzaprine HCl can be used to relieve muscle spasms caused by conditions such as sprains, strains, or other muscle injuries. Ketoprofen can be used to treat pain or inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, and gout. Lidocaine can be used to relieve pain and discomfort caused by skin irritations, such as minor cuts, burns, and abrasions, as well as to relieve itching and discomfort due to hemorrhoids.

As with any medication, it's important to use this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider. Side effects may include skin irritation at the application site, dizziness, drowsiness, or dry mouth. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience any other side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

It's also important to inform your healthcare provider of all other medications you are currently taking, as there may be potential interactions with this formulation. This includes prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation contains three active ingredients: Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Ketoprofen, and Lidocaine. Each of these ingredients can interact with other medications, potentially altering their effects or increasing the risk of adverse reactions.

Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. It can interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), increasing the risk of serious side effects such as high fever, severe headache, stiff muscles, and confusion. It can also interact with other central nervous system depressants, including alcohol, antihistamines, sedatives, tranquilizers, and certain analgesics, potentially leading to increased sedation and respiratory depression.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It can interact with blood thinners, such as warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding. It can also interact with other NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and alcohol, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Additionally, it can interact with certain blood pressure medications, potentially reducing their effectiveness.

Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. It can interact with certain heart medications, potentially leading to heart rhythm problems. It can also interact with other local anesthetics and certain seizure medications, potentially increasing the risk of adverse effects.

This formulation is designed to treat a variety of disease states. Cyclobenzaprine HCl can help to relieve muscle spasms associated with painful musculoskeletal conditions. Ketoprofen can help to reduce pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis. Lidocaine can help to numb the skin and relieve pain associated with conditions such as post-herpetic neuralgia and other nerve-related pain conditions.

It's important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions. If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Cyclobenzaprine HCl 3%/Ketoprofen 15%/Lidocaine 5% Transdermal Gel is a unique formulation that combines the therapeutic benefits of three active ingredients. Each of these ingredients plays a crucial role in managing pain and inflammation, making this formulation highly effective for targeted treatment.

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. When applied topically in a gel form, it can provide targeted relief to the affected area.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces 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. In this formulation, Ketoprofen is absorbed through the skin to provide localized relief from pain and inflammation.

Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness in the area where it is applied. It achieves this by blocking the nerve signals in your body. In this formulation, Lidocaine provides immediate relief from pain by numbing the affected area.

The gel formulation allows for easy and precise application of these active ingredients directly to the area of pain or inflammation. The transdermal delivery system ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed through the skin and into the affected area, providing targeted relief. The gel-like consistency also ensures that the formulation stays on the skin for a longer period, allowing for sustained release of the active ingredients.

This formulation is particularly effective in treating conditions that cause pain and inflammation, such as arthritis, muscle spasms, and other similar conditions. By combining the muscle relaxant properties of Cyclobenzaprine HCl, the anti-inflammatory properties of Ketoprofen, and the anesthetic properties of Lidocaine, this formulation provides comprehensive relief from pain and inflammation.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This specialized formulation of Cyclobenzaprine HCl 3%/Ketoprofen 15%/Lidocaine 5% Transdermal Gel, while often used for the treatment of a variety of conditions, can also provide relief in other contexts as well. It has potential applications beyond the primary usage scenarios. Outside of conventional disease states, it can also be used to manage pain arising from sports injuries or sprains and may be recommended for post-surgical discomfort management due to its ability to provide targeted relief.

Ketoprofen, a primary ingredient in this formulation, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and along with Cyclobenzaprine — a muscle relaxant, and Lidocaine — a local anesthetic, the triple combination works synergistically to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and relaxing underlying muscles and tissues. Thus, this formulation could be beneficial in treating various other conditions involving inflammation or muscle spasms including but not limited to tendonitis, bursitis, or even relieving pain from minor burns or insect bites.

Furthermore, this transdermal gel can also potentially be used for cases where oral medication administration is not suitable or is inconvenient. Due to its transdermal application, it provides a localized effect and hence, can minimize systemic side effects usually experienced with oral medications. However, as the use of this product extends beyond conventional categories, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using the gel for off-label purposes. It’s crucial that users understand the specific characteristics and interactions of the ingredients in order to ensure safe and effective use.
