Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a unique compounded formulation of Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% in a topical gel format. This innovative formulation is designed to address a range of health conditions, including chronic pain, neuropathic pain, and opioid addiction.

Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant medication, is frequently used in the management of chronic and neuropathic pain. It functions by inhibiting certain nerve signals in the brain, thereby reducing pain and enhancing the quality of life. Naltrexone HCl, on the other hand, is an opioid antagonist used in the treatment of opioid addiction. It operates by blocking the effects of opioids, which can aid in reducing cravings and preventing relapse.

When these two potent ingredients are combined, the resulting Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% Topical Gel can offer effective relief from chronic and neuropathic pain, as well as assist in curbing cravings and preventing relapse in individuals struggling with opioid addiction. This formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency.

If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in managing your condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment option for your specific needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% Topical Gel is a semisolid preparation designed for easy and precise application on the skin. It is primarily used for the targeted treatment of chronic pain, opioid dependence, and opioid withdrawal symptoms. However, it is not recommended for patients with a history of hypersensitivity to either Gabapentin or Naltrexone, or for those with a history of alcohol or drug abuse.

While using this formulation, patients should be closely monitored for signs of opioid withdrawal, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and anxiety. It is also crucial to watch for signs of opioid overdose, which may include confusion, drowsiness, shallow breathing, and loss of consciousness.

Patients are advised to abstain from alcohol and other CNS depressants while using this formulation. They should also avoid activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, until they understand how this formulation affects them.

It is important to avoid using this formulation in conjunction with other topical medications, as this may increase the risk of adverse effects. Similarly, patients should avoid using this formulation with other medications that may interact with Gabapentin or Naltrexone, such as anticonvulsants, sedatives, or muscle relaxants.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its use, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as chronic pain, neuropathy, and opioid addiction. This unique formulation combines Gabapentin, a potent anticonvulsant, and Naltrexone HCl, an effective opioid antagonist. Together, these active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate pain and inflammation, while simultaneously blocking the effects of opioids.

When applied topically, the Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% Topical Gel is absorbed through the skin, allowing it to enter the bloodstream.
