Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Nifedipine 3%/Pentoxifylline 3% Topical Cream is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is specifically formulated for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients. The cream is indicated for the treatment of several conditions including Raynaud's Syndrome, Intermittent Claudication, Peripheral Vascular Disease, Diabetic Neuropathy, and Ischemic Ulcers.

Nifedipine 3% is a calcium channel blocker that functions by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of blood vessels. This action increases blood flow and decreases peripheral vascular resistance. On the other hand, Pentoxifylline 3% is a vasodilator that enhances the flexibility of red blood cells, thereby improving blood flow and decreasing the viscosity of the blood. The combined action of these two medications works synergistically to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions.

Patients are advised to apply the cream to the affected area twice daily, massaging it in until it is completely absorbed. It is crucial to avoid application on broken or irritated skin. In case of any adverse reactions, usage should be discontinued immediately and the healthcare provider should be contacted. This cream is a testament to the advancements in compounding pharmacy, providing targeted treatment for specific conditions.

Nifedipine 3%/Pentoxifylline 3% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a variety of conditions including Raynaud's Syndrome, Intermittent Claudication, Peripheral Vascular Disease, Diabetic Neuropathy, and Ischemic Ulcers. This unique formulation combines the power of two active ingredients: Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Pentoxifylline, a vasodilator.
