Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Naltrexone HCl 1%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various inflammatory skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. This semisolid preparation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, allowing for convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.

The cream works by blocking the release of inflammatory mediators, such as histamine, from mast cells and inhibiting the activity of certain enzymes involved in the inflammatory process. The combination of Naltrexone HCl and Ketotifen has been shown to be more effective than either agent alone in reducing the severity of symptoms associated with these conditions.

Patients are advised to apply the cream to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by their healthcare provider. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, the area should be rinsed with water. Patients should also avoid using other topical medications in the same area as the Naltrexone HCl/Ketotifen cream, as this may increase the risk of side effects.

Common side effects of Naltrexone HCl/Ketotifen cream include burning, stinging, itching, redness, and dryness at the application site. If these side effects persist or worsen, patients should contact their healthcare provider. Rare but serious side effects may include anaphylaxis, angioedema, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

Naltrexone HCl/Ketotifen cream should not be used in patients who are hypersensitive to either of the active ingredients. It should also be used with caution in patients with a history of liver or kidney disease, as these conditions may increase the risk of side effects.

If you have any questions about using Naltrexone HCl/Ketotifen cream, please reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist for further guidance.

This unique formulation combines the potent effects of naltrexone hydrochloride and ketotifen, two active ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties.

Naltrexone hydrochloride is an opioid antagonist. It functions by blocking the effects of opioids in the body, which can help reduce inflammation. On the other hand, ketotifen is an antihistamine that inhibits the release of histamine, a chemical that triggers inflammation and itching. The synergistic action of these two ingredients can effectively alleviate the symptoms associated with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis.

The Naltrexone HCl 1%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application. It is designed to be applied directly to the affected skin area twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, the area should be thoroughly rinsed with water.

While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as burning, stinging, or redness at the application site. If these or any other side effects occur, it is recommended to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using Naltrexone HCl 1%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream. If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist for further guidance.
