How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Naltrexone HCl 0.5%/Azelastine HCl 0.1% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed to address a range of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. This unique combination of active ingredients, naltrexone hydrochloride and azelastine hydrochloride, synergistically work to alleviate inflammation and itching associated with these skin conditions.

Naltrexone hydrochloride is an opioid antagonist that functions by blocking the action of specific opioid receptors in the body. This action helps to reduce the sensation of itching often experienced with skin conditions. On the other hand, azelastine hydrochloride is an antihistamine that inhibits the action of histamine, a substance released by the body during an allergic reaction, thereby reducing inflammation.

The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. This targeted treatment ensures that the active ingredients are delivered directly to the affected area, enhancing their effectiveness. It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication. Typically, the gel should be applied to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Always remember to wash your hands before and after applying the gel, and avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Naltrexone HCl 0.5%/Azelastine HCl 0.1% Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you understand your medication and achieve the best possible outcomes from your treatment.
