Bayview Pharmacy's Ketamine HCl 10%/Loperamide HCl 10% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions. This unique formulation combines two active ingredients, ketamine hydrochloride and loperamide hydrochloride, which synergistically work to alleviate pain, inflammation, and itching. The gel is applied directly to the affected area, allowing for targeted treatment and absorption through the skin.

Ketamine hydrochloride, a potent anesthetic, functions by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, thereby reducing pain and inflammation. On the other hand, loperamide hydrochloride, an effective antidiarrheal medication, works by decelerating the movement of the intestines, which helps to alleviate the symptoms of diarrhea.

The combination of these two medications in a gel-like consistency provides a targeted and effective relief from pain, inflammation, and itching associated with a variety of conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, eczema, and other skin conditions.
