Diclofenac Lidocaine

My eldery lady has back pain all the time, she is confined to her recliner and she doesn't walk. Will this combination of diclofenac, gabapentin & lidocaine help alleviate her back pain? It originally was presribed for pain in her feet. ## Hi Patti, As a topical pain-relieving cream, it may help. However, one cannot distinctly say that it will or will not without trying it first. - Diclofenac is a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) marketed for use in treating mild to moderate pain/inflammation. - Gabapentin is marketed for use in treating nerve pain (as well as certain types of seizures). - Lidocaine is a sodium channel blocker marketed for use in relieving pain and numbing tissue (skin). To what extent these ingredients will help her pain is anyone's guess... How...

I am researching this cream for a client with the following ingredients: Diclofenac 1.5% Gabapentin 2.5% Lidocaine 2.337% Prolocaine 2.337% Does anyone have additional information on it? ## Hello, Don! How are you? This cream is actually something that is specially ordered by a patient's doctor, and it must be created by a compounding pharmacy. There really is no standard list of ingredients, it can vary from doctor to doctor, according to what they think will work best for their patient. This combination is usually used for topical, or muscular pain relief, and the FDA lists the side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, flaking, and headache. To explain it more for you, Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that is also u...

This cream (diclofenac 3% / gabapentin 6% / baclofen 2% / lidocaine 5%) and doxepin hydrochloride 5% cream is supposed to be used for pain in my knee and back. I found the second cream but the first which contains four different items is hard to track down. The warnings and interactions is what I am concerned about. ## Generally, these creams can vary from doctor to doctor, and they need to be made by a compounding pharmacist. Thus, they aren't usually "in stock" anywhere, they are made specifically according to what your doctor has ordered. Do you have a compounding pharmacy in your area? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including skin irritation, redness, flaking, and burning. ## The compounding pharmacy is about thirty miles away and they use UPS for del...

Why can't this be purchased at Walmart's pharmacy? ## Hello, Mai! How are you? Those abbreviations stand for Diclofenac, Lidocaine and Pentoxifyline. This is used for topical pain relief and improvement of blood flow, but such medications are only available by prescription in the U.S. You may need to go to a compounding pharmacy to have it specially made for you. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including headache, skin irritation, redness, itching and rash. Is there anything else I can help with? ## If this drug was prescribed in 201+, does it expire?

Those stand for Diclofenac (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory), Lidocaine (an anesthetic), Cyclobenzaprine and Baclofen (muscle relaxants.) These combinations are usually used topically to treat muscle pain and spasms. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, dizziness and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is the compound DICL/GABA/LIDO/PRIL? ## As you mentioned, this sounds like a compounded medication. Based on the abbreviations, the active ingredients are most likely: DICLOFENAC - A nonsteroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID) / pain reliever GABAPENTIN - A medication which can be used to treat neuropathic pain LIDOCAINE - A local anesthetic used to numb tissue in a specific area PRILOCAINE - Also a local anesthetic, often combined with Lidocaine So, it seems like it would be a topical medication, is that correct? May I ask what this was prescribed for, and whether it has been effective? ## I put the cream on my ankle and noticed a tightening of the skin ever since I started using it. The soles of my feet also feel really tight. Are these known side effects? ## SEEKING A COMPOUND SALVE ...

what is this and is it good for my foot I dropped a hurricane window on it and I have a bruised bone? ## This is something specially ordered by a doctor and compounded by a pharmacy that is intended to be used topically to treat pain or skin conditions. Flurbiprofen and Diclofenac are both nonsteroidal anti-ifnlammatories, Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant, Lidocaine is a topical anesthetic, Betamethasone is a steroid. However, I am not totally sure what the pentox and bupiv are, but your pharmacist should be able to tell you. Since it's used topically side effects are usually minimal and just include some skin irritation. Does anyone else recognize those 2 ingredients?

I would like to know what is this compound about?? ## Hello, Chirstina! How are you? This is a topical compound used to treat pain, mostly that of the muscles, where such preparations can be readily absorbed. From what you've listed, this contains: Clonazepam: Clonazepam details here. Gabapentin: Gabapentin details here. Ketamine: Ketamine details here. Amitriptyline: Amitriptyline details here. Diclofenac: Diclofenac details here. and EMLA: Lidocaine: Lidocaine details here. Prilocaine: Prilocaine details here. The MGCL stands for magnesium chloride being used in the compound. Since its used topically, there's not usually a lot of side effects, but you may experience skin irritation where it's applied. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I need to have someone get ba...

I'm curious as to what exactly this cream is used for and the side effects of use? ## This looks like a compounded cream, each word being an abbreviation for the full ingredient. I am assuming that each one corresponds to the following (though I can't guarantee that I am 100% accurate): CARB = Carbamazepine, anticonvulsant used in treating neuropathic pain CYCL = Cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxer DICL = Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID) GABA = Gabapentin, anticonvulsant used in treating neuropathic pain LIDO = Lidocaine, a local anesthetic PRIL= Prilocaine, a local anesthetic So it seems that this is a pain relieving cream, and a strong one at that. I would recommend checking each drug for its possible side effects. May I ask where you got it from? Was it com...
