Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

The Arginine HCl 6%/Nifedipine 0.2% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed to treat a range of conditions. It is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, allowing for easy and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.

One of the conditions this formulation can treat is hypertension. Arginine HCl is believed to reduce blood pressure by increasing nitric oxide production, which aids in relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the heart's workload. Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, also contributes to reducing blood pressure by blocking the influx of calcium into the heart and blood vessel cells, further relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the heart's workload.

This formulation is also used to manage Raynaud's Syndrome. Both Arginine HCl and Nifedipine work in tandem to reduce the frequency and severity of Raynaud's Syndrome by increasing nitric oxide production and blocking the influx of calcium into the heart and blood vessel cells, respectively.

Erectile dysfunction can also be treated with this formulation. Arginine HCl is thought to improve erectile dysfunction by increasing nitric oxide production, which relaxes the blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis. Nifedipine aids in this process by blocking the influx of calcium into the heart and blood vessel cells, further relaxing the blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penis.

Intermittent claudication, a condition characterized by leg pain caused by inadequate blood flow, can also be managed with this formulation. Both Arginine HCl and Nifedipine work together to improve this condition by increasing nitric oxide production and blocking the influx of calcium into the heart and blood vessel cells, respectively.

Lastly, this formulation can be used to treat peripheral vascular disease. Arginine HCl is believed to improve this condition by increasing nitric oxide production, which relaxes the blood vessels and reduces the heart's workload. Nifedipine aids in this process by blocking the influx of calcium into the heart and blood vessel cells, further relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the heart's workload.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to treat these conditions, please reach out for more information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Arginine HCl 6%/Nifedipine 0.2% Topical Cream is a semisolid preparation designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is dispensed in a pump mechanism, ensuring precise dosage and ease of use. The cream contains two active ingredients: Arginine HCl and Nifedipine. Arginine HCl is an amino acid that aids in relaxing the blood vessels, while Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that reduces the force of the heart’s contractions. The synergistic effect of these two ingredients helps to lower blood pressure and enhance circulation.

One of the primary uses of this topical cream is in the treatment of hypertension. By applying the cream directly to the skin, the active ingredients are absorbed and work to reduce blood pressure. The cream is also beneficial for individuals suffering from Raynaud’s Syndrome, a condition characterized by the constriction of blood vessels in the fingers and toes in response to cold or stress. The cream aids in relaxing the blood vessels, thereby improving circulation.

Another application of this topical cream is in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. When applied directly to the penis, the cream helps to relax the blood vessels and improve blood flow, potentially enhancing erectile function. The cream can also be used to alleviate symptoms of intermittent claudication, a condition where poor circulation causes pain and weakness in the legs. By improving circulation, the cream can help to alleviate these symptoms.

Lastly, this topical cream can be beneficial for individuals with peripheral vascular disease, a condition where the blood vessels in the legs become narrowed or blocked. By relaxing the blood vessels and improving circulation, the cream can help to reduce the symptoms associated with this condition.
