This unique combination medication contains two active ingredients: naltrexone hydrochloride and ketotifen, both of which are recognized for their anti-inflammatory properties.

Additionally, it should be used cautiously in patients with a history of allergies or asthma.

For optimal results, the gel should be applied to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
