This formulation is a compounded transdermal gel containing Amitriptyline HCL 1%, Ketoprofen 5%, and Tetracaine HCL 2%. It is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed directly into the targeted area, providing localized treatment.
Amitriptyline HCL is a tricyclic antidepressant that is used in this formulation for its analgesic properties. It works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help elevate mood and reduce the sensation of pain. Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Tetracaine HCL is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body, thereby numbing the specific area of application.
This formulation is typically used to treat conditions that involve pain and inflammation. These may include neuropathic pain, arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, and certain types of dermatological conditions. The combination of these three active ingredients works synergistically to provide pain relief, reduce inflammation, and numb the affected area, providing comprehensive treatment.
It is important to note that this formulation should be used as directed by a healthcare provider. The gel should be applied to the affected area in the amount specified by the prescriber. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If any adverse reactions occur, such as skin irritation or allergic reactions, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
As compounding pharmacists, we are able to customize this formulation to meet the specific needs of individual patients. This includes adjusting the concentration of the active ingredients, altering the base of the gel, or adding other active ingredients as needed.

This formulation contains Amitriptyline HCL, Ketoprofen, and Tetracaine HCL, all of which can interact with other medications. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you're currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Amitriptyline HCL, a tricyclic antidepressant, can interact with MAO inhibitors, SSRIs, anticholinergic drugs, and certain antihypertensive medications. Combining these drugs can lead to serious side effects such as serotonin syndrome, increased heart rate, and elevated blood pressure. It's also important to avoid alcohol while using this medication as it can increase drowsiness and dizziness.
Ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can interact with blood thinners, other NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and certain antihypertensive medications. These interactions can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers, and may also affect kidney function. If you're taking aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke, using ketoprofen might decrease that protective effect.
Tetracaine HCL, a local anesthetic, can interact with other local anesthetics and certain antiarrhythmic drugs. These interactions can lead to serious side effects such as slow heart rate, low blood pressure, and breathing problems. It's also important to avoid applying this medication to broken or inflamed skin, as it can increase the absorption of the drug and lead to systemic side effects.
This formulation is designed to provide targeted treatment for conditions such as neuropathic pain, inflammation, and localized pain. Amitriptyline HCL can help manage neuropathic pain by altering the way your body senses pain. Ketoprofen reduces inflammation and pain in the body by inhibiting the production of certain substances that cause inflammation. Tetracaine HCL works by blocking nerve signals in your body, providing local anesthesia and relieving pain.
It's crucial to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Avoid applying more than the recommended dose, as it can increase the risk of side effects. If you experience any unusual symptoms while using this medication, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide you with the information you need to use this medication safely and effectively.
This formulation combines three active ingredients: Amitriptyline HCL, Ketoprofen, and Tetracaine HCL, each with a unique mechanism of action to provide relief from various disease states. The formulation is designed to be applied topically, directly to the skin, where it is absorbed into the body to exert its therapeutic effects.
Amitriptyline HCL is a tricyclic antidepressant that works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help improve mood, relieve anxiety, and treat certain types of chronic pain. It is often used in pain management for conditions such as neuropathic pain. When applied topically, Amitriptyline HCL can provide targeted relief at the site of pain.
Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It is commonly used to relieve pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis. In this formulation, Ketoprofen provides localized anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
Tetracaine HCL is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. It is used to numb different parts of the body to reduce pain or discomfort caused by minor skin irritations, sore throat, sunburn, teething pain, vaginal or rectal irritation, ingrown toenails, hemorrhoids, and many other sources of minor pain on a surface of the body. In this formulation, Tetracaine HCL provides immediate, localized pain relief.
The transdermal gel formulation allows for the active ingredients to be absorbed through the skin directly into the bloodstream. This provides targeted relief and minimizes systemic side effects that can occur with oral administration. The pump mechanism allows for easy and precise application of the medication.
This formulation is typically used for conditions that involve inflammation and pain, such as arthritis, neuropathic pain, and other similar conditions. It provides a multi-pronged approach to pain management, addressing both the symptoms and the underlying causes of pain.

The Amitriptyline HCL 1%/Ketoprofen 5%/Tetracaine HCL 2% Transdermal Gel is primarily used to manage pain associated with diseases such as neuropathic pain disorders, inflammation and some surgical procedures, due to the analgesic properties of its active ingredients. However, there could be several other potential uses for this formulation.
Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that has been employed off-label for treating chronic pruritis (itching). By blocking histamine receptors, it may help reduce itching in conditions like lichen planus, eczema, and certain dermatoses. Similarly, these properties may make the gel useful in alleviating symptoms of vulvodynia.
Given ketoprofen's anti-inflammatory properties, this gel might also be beneficial in managing localized inflammation occurring as a result of sports injuries, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis. Tetracaine, being a local anesthetic, numbs the specific area and provides relief from distress and discomfort, so it might also be valuable in conditions requiring localized anesthesia.
Furthermore, the combination of these three compounds could potentially be used for pain management in skin conditions associated with nerve damage, such as postherpetic neuralgia or trigeminal neuralgia, although more research would be needed in these areas.
It is important that patients and prescribers consider potential side effects, which could include skin irritation or allergic reactions. Given the active ingredients, there could also be systemic side effects if absorbed in substantial quantities, such as drowsiness, weakness or confusion stemming from the amitriptyline. As always, the gel should only be used as directed by a healthcare provider and is not suitable for application on open wounds or mucous membranes.
