Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Diclofenac Sodium 3%/Cyclobenzaprine HCl 0.5% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of musculoskeletal conditions. This unique formulation brings together the anti-inflammatory properties of diclofenac sodium and the muscle-relaxing benefits of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride. The combined effect of these two active ingredients helps to alleviate inflammation and pain, making it an effective treatment for conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and myofascial pain syndrome.

Diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation and pain. On the other hand, cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride, a muscle relaxant, operates by blocking nerve impulses that lead to muscle spasms. The synergistic effect of these two ingredients provides targeted relief from pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions.

This topical gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The semisolid formulation ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively, providing targeted treatment right where it's needed. This method of application is generally well tolerated, with minimal side effects. However, some users may experience skin irritation, redness, or itching. It is recommended to avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes and to wash hands thoroughly after application.

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 care and treatment options. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can help manage your musculoskeletal condition, please do not hesitate to contact us.
