Does the cream actually go through your bloodstream? I have taken Gabapentin in the past which started out okay for a while, but then I had an issue with it & went off the pill form of the medication. I was told since it doesn't go through your bloodstream that the cream should be fine. Please let me know what you think and also if you know whether it's true about it not going into your bloodstream and causing any of the same side effects as the pill form. Thank you. ## Hello, Diane! How are you? A little does, but just trace amounts, not any significant amount that should cause side effects or reactions. Most of the reactions to these topical creams are limited to skin irritation wherever you applied it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you, that helped me q...

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 ...

5f-diclo3/gaba6/lido2prilo2% ## Hello, I am a little confused about what medications you are describing, so I will try to offer as much accurate information as possible. In regards to the title of your post, are you referring to Diclofenac topical 3% and Gabapentin topical 6%? If so, my research tells me that Diclofenac 3% topical gel is used to treat actinic keratosis (flat, scaly growths on the skin caused by too much sun exposure). Tell your doctor if you experience any of the following side effects, or if they become severe: -redness, itching, peeling or dry skin, irritation, swelling, or rash at the area where you applied the medication -pain, burning, numbness, or tingling of the treated skin -muscle, joint, or back pain -headache Some side effects may be serious. If you experienc...

What happens if this stuff is swallowed? What could this cause? How would it make someone feel if they were to swallow it? ## Hi Jenny, The product combination you're referring to is reported to be a topical pain-relieving cream for external use only. If it is accidentally swallowed, I would encourage you to contact poison control immediately as well as the prescribing doctor for any safety advice. The "American Association of Poison Control Centers" is available 24/7 at: 1-800-222-1222 RE: "How would it make someone feel if they were to swallow it?" - I'm sure it would make that person feel very ill and depending on the quantity may be fatal, but I would not recommend swallowing it to find out. Please be safe and be sure to keep your medication locked away in a ...

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 have found all of the elements in this topical cream (dicl bacl gaba lido doxe) EXCEPT for "DOXE". Can someone explain the abbreviation of this component and any side-effects? ## Hi twotrees, There are a couple medications that come to mind when I see the abbreviation "Doxe": [1] Doxycycline - An antibiotic, topically used to treat moderate to severe inflammatory acne, or mild inflammatory acne. [2] Doxepin - When applied topically, it can reduce itching caused by atopic dermatitis, lichen simplex chronicus, and other skin diseases. I'm personally leaning towards "Doxepin" due to how close the abbreviation is to the actual drug name and it's topical use-case. If it is Doxepin, you can view a list of possible side effects in the link below: ncbi.nlm.nih....

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...

I also received a cream for a torn labrum, and back spasms as a result of the torn labrum. The insurance is making me jump through Hoops! (Now 2 yrs.) Anyhow, what do these abbreviations stand for and what does each one do? I want to make sure I'm not going to make matters worse, as the drugs they were giving me were giving me so many side effects, I couldn't take them any longer. Can someone please list each abbreviation and it's correct name? Also, a brief description of what they do and side effects? I am very sensitive to drugs, and am concerned. Thank you in advance for any clarification you can give. ## I'm happy to help! Diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant that also helps with certain types of nerve pain. Baclofen, which is ...

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...

Can you take Diclofenac Sod when taking Cipro ## Actually, these two medications aren't generally prescribed together, due to the fact that combining them increases the risk of stimulation of the central nervous system and seizures. On the Ciprofloxacin Details page under Interactions it says "They may also interact with the GABA A receptor and cause neurological symptoms; this effect is augmented by certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs." Have they both been prescribed for you? ## yes ive been prescribed the two drugs ## I've been on dicloflanac and the dr prescribed me cipro

I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these two medications, but you should double check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Learn more Gabapentin details here. Learn more Diclofenac details here. The Diclofenac may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Would like to order some of this cream ## Hello, Carla! How are you? I'm sorry, but this website does not manufacture, prescribe nor sell anything, it is an information only website. Additionally, this cream requires a doctor's prescription and must be made by a specialty compounding pharmacy to the doctor's dosage directions. Has your doctor prescribe this for you? ## Does this cream come up bad if my work checks me? ## I have Diclofenac 10% in PLO cream mixed.

Can anyone recommend a substitute for gabapentin? It is prescribed by my doctor to reduce pain. ## I am on 300 gms gaberpintin what else can i take to help me sleep stop muscle pain in the hands and calf thank you Stephen Burgess ## Gabapentin is a anticonvulsant that is also used to help treat/prevent nerve pain. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, and mood changes. There are other similar medications available, but they all require a prescription, so there is nothing equivalent available over the counter.

Does Voltaren contain gabapentin? My bottle says 50 Gm NP Gel. It says under it Diclofenac NA+Dextromethorphan+Gabapentin+Amitriptylyne+Nifedipine: 4 percent. So would this be considered Voltaren Gel and does this mean it contains all of those drugs? Would it be safe to take with Ibprophen, Methadone, and Oxycodone if prescribed together? I can't each my doctor. ## Hello, Bella! How are you? What you've described with that list of ingredients is a special compounded product that you're doctor has ordered for you. These are usually used topically and ordered according to your doctor's experience of what has worked for other patients. So yes, it does contain those medications and the FDA lists the most common side effects as being related to its topical use, so they may in...

Is this drug safe to take with gabapentin 600 mg? Also what dosage? How often can it be taken? ## Does Rumoquin N.F. interact with Metoprolol 25 mg or Atorvastatin 40 mg ## @Brownie, Rumoquin NF contains a combination of diclofenac, methocarbamol and dexamethasone. Because these are all prescribed drugs, the doctor who is prescribing them to you should be aware of anything else you are taking alongside them. If your doctor didn't give you any dosing advice, I would recommend calling him/her asap. Ironically, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), diclofenac and dexamethasone have a "high interaction potential"; that is to say it is NOT recommended you take them together, which I find odd since they are both included in the s...
