Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This topical gel formulation is a compounded blend of Lidocaine 2%, Naltrexone HCl 0.5%, and Nifedipine 0.2%. It is specifically designed to provide targeted treatment for a variety of chronic pain conditions, including neuropathic pain, postherpetic neuralgia, interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, and lichen sclerosus. The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin.

Lidocaine, an anesthetic, works by blocking nerve signals in the affected area, providing temporary relief from pain. Naltrexone HCl, an opioid antagonist, aids in reducing the intensity of pain signals reaching the brain. Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, contributes to the reduction of inflammation and pain. The combined effect of these three active ingredients helps to alleviate pain and inflammation in the targeted area, providing relief and improving the quality of life for patients suffering from chronic pain conditions.

This topical gel formulation is not only effective but also convenient to use. It can be applied directly to the affected area, allowing for targeted treatment and absorption of the active ingredients. It can be used in conjunction with other treatments as part of a comprehensive pain management plan. However, patients should be aware that this formulation may cause skin irritation in some individuals and should be used with caution.
