Clinical trials have shown that this formulation is well tolerated and effective in reducing pain symptoms.

Patients are advised to use the nasal spray as directed, typically not exceeding four applications per day.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Lidocaine HCl 4%/Ketamine 2.5% Buffered Nasal Spray is a compounded formulation that combines the analgesic properties of two potent medications, lidocaine hydrochloride and ketamine. This unique blend is specifically designed to manage and alleviate chronic pain conditions such as Trigeminal Neuralgia, Migraine, Cluster Headache, Postherpetic Neuralgia, and Chronic Pain.

Lidocaine hydrochloride, a local anesthetic, functions by blocking nerve signals in the area where the pain is most intense. On the other hand, ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, operates by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters that trigger pain sensations. The combination of these two medications in a buffered nasal spray formulation allows for swift absorption, offering rapid relief from pain symptoms.

When utilizing Lidocaine HCl 4%/Ketamine 2.5% Buffered Nasal Spray, it is crucial to adhere to the guidelines provided by your healthcare provider. The spray is designed for administration into the nostril on the side of the face experiencing pain. The dosage should be adjusted according to the severity of the pain. It is important to remember that this medication should not be used continuously for more than five days, as prolonged use can lead to serious side effects.

If you have any queries or concerns about using Lidocaine HCl 4%/Ketamine 2.5% Buffered Nasal Spray for the treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia, Migraine, Cluster Headache, Postherpetic Neuralgia, or Chronic Pain, do not hesitate to seek professional advice. It is essential to find the most effective treatment option for your specific condition.
