This topical gel formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment. The gel-like consistency allows for optimal absorption of the active ingredients, providing relief where it's needed most. It is safe for long-term use and can be used in conjunction with other treatments, offering flexibility in treatment plans.

While generally well-tolerated, some pets may experience mild side effects such as dryness, redness, or irritation of the skin. It's always important to monitor your pet's reaction to a new treatment and consult with a veterinarian if any concerns arise.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Diphenhydramine HCl 2%/Naltrexone HCl 0.5% Topical Gel (Vet) is a specialized treatment designed for veterinary use, specifically for the management of conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis, Pruritus, Allergic Skin Reactions, Insect Bites, and Acral Lick Granuloma. The formulation combines the antihistamine properties of Diphenhydramine HCl, which works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms, with the opioid antagonist properties of Naltrexone HCl, which blocks the effects of opioids, such as endorphins, to reduce itching and inflammation.

Together, these two active ingredients work synergistically to provide relief from the symptoms associated with these conditions. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to either Diphenhydramine HCl or Naltrexone HCl. Close monitoring for signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing, is recommended. If any of these symptoms occur, the patient should immediately discontinue use and seek medical attention.

As with any medication, it is essential to use this formulation under the guidance of a qualified veterinary professional. Always follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions to ensure the safety and efficacy of the treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its use, please consult with your veterinarian or a healthcare professional.
