This formulation combines Amitriptyline HCl 5%, Ketoprofen 15%, and Lidocaine 5% in a topical gel. It works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help improve mood, sleep, and the body's response to 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, gout, sprains, and other injuries.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. It is used on the skin to stop itching and pain from certain skin conditions (e.g., scrapes, minor burns, eczema, insect bites) and to treat minor discomfort and itching caused by hemorrhoids and certain other problems of the genital/anal area.
The gel formulation allows for easy and precise application on the skin, facilitating targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. The pump mechanism ensures that the correct dose is dispensed each time, reducing the risk of overdose or underdose.
This formulation is particularly useful in treating conditions such as neuropathic pain, arthritis, gout, sprains, and other injuries where both pain and inflammation are present. It can also be used to relieve itching and discomfort from certain skin conditions and problems of the genital/anal area.
As with any medication, it is important to use this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider.

This formulation contains three active ingredients: Amitriptyline HCl, Ketoprofen, and Lidocaine. Each of these ingredients has its own potential for drug interactions, which can be amplified when used in combination. It's important to note that while this is a topical formulation, systemic absorption can still occur, especially with prolonged use or application to large areas of skin.
Amitriptyline HCl is a tricyclic antidepressant that can interact with a variety of medications. It can increase the effects of other CNS depressants, such as alcohol, antihistamines, sedatives, pain relievers, anxiety medicines, and muscle relaxants. It can also interact with certain anticholinergic drugs, thyroid medications, and other antidepressants. Additionally, it can affect the metabolism of certain drugs, such as cimetidine and fluoxetine.
Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can interact with other NSAIDs, including aspirin, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. It can also interact with blood thinners, certain blood pressure medications, and lithium. Furthermore, it can affect the elimination of certain drugs, such as methotrexate and cyclosporine.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that can interact with other local anesthetics and certain antiarrhythmic drugs, such as mexiletine and tocainide. It can also interact with certain antiviral drugs, such as amprenavir and fosamprenavir.
This formulation is primarily used for the management of localized pain, inflammation, and neuropathic conditions. Amitriptyline HCl can help manage neuropathic pain, Ketoprofen can reduce inflammation and pain, and Lidocaine can provide local anesthesia. However, it's important to use this formulation as directed by a healthcare provider, as inappropriate use can lead to increased risk of side effects and interactions.
Patients should inform their healthcare providers about all the medications they are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and dietary supplements.

The formulation of Amitriptyline HCl 5%/Ketoprofen 15%/Lidocaine 5% Topical Gel has primary applications in the management of chronic pain conditions, particularly of neuropathic origin or associated with inflammation. However, it has other uses that may be beneficial.
One potential use is in the management of symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD). This debilitating oral facial condition is characterized by inflammation, muscle tenderness, and nerve pain. The combination of the Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant that has analgesic properties, with Ketoprofen, a potent Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID), and Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, could synergistically alleviate these symptoms.
Additionally, it is used off-label in the treatment of conditions like fibromyalgia and certain instances of chronic low back pain. The analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and numbing effects of this formulation can help manage these conditions and improve quality of life.
Another possible use is post-herpetic neuralgia, a complication of shingles that often results in severe nerve pain. The triple-action benefit of this formulation targets inflammation, blocks the pain pathway, and provides a numbing effect, providing relief for those experiencing this condition.
Please note that while this formulation has versatile uses, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before beginning a new treatment regimen. This is because every patient is unique and may respond differently to treatments. This formulation is not suitable for everyone, particularly those with known hypersensitivity to any of its components. Misuse could lead to undesirable side effects or reduce the drug's effectiveness.

If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.
