My hubby's new doctor proscribed him Flur/bac/lido 10/2/5% pentox 3%lipo for his upper back pain. What the hell is this? Why not just give him a pain killer to put him out of my mesary? ## Hello, Tish! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in such misery. This is a topical analgesic that contains Flurbiprofen, Baclofen, Lidocaine and Cyclobenzaprine, its most common side effects include skin irritation, redness and rash. Many doctors prefer to try these first, to see if they help, before they resort to prescribing other medications that might cause dangerous side effects and which could possibly be habit forming. Is it helping him? ## Is cycloketaine suppose to be have grains in it or smooth?

I'm cleaning out my medicine cabinet and came across this old RX (cream). It doesn't say what it is for.

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?
