FDA-approved generic
Dose form
Topical Gel
Active ingredients
Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride
Diclofenac Sodium
Lidocaine Hydrochloride

This formulation is a combination of Cyclobenzaprine HCl 5%, Diclofenac Sodium 10%, and Lidocaine 5% in a topical gel. It is a semisolid formulation dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients.

The Cyclobenzaprine HCl component is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes.

This formulation is used to treat various disease states including muscle spasms, inflammation, and localized pain. It provides relief by reducing the intensity of pain signals reaching the brain and effectively relaxes muscles. It is particularly beneficial for patients with conditions such as arthritis, back pain, nerve pain, and other similar conditions.

Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a combination of Cyclobenzaprine HCl 5%, Diclofenac Sodium 10%, and Lidocaine 5% in a topical gel. Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. This unique combination of ingredients provides a multi-pronged approach to pain management, targeting inflammation, muscle tension, and providing immediate numbing relief.

The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application. This is particularly beneficial for patients who may have difficulty applying traditional creams or ointments. The gel-like consistency also allows for targeted treatment, as it can be applied directly to the area of discomfort. This formulation is designed to be absorbed through the skin, providing localized relief from pain and inflammation.

This formulation can be used to treat a variety of disease states. It may also be used in the management of neuropathic pain conditions, where the numbing effect of Lidocaine can provide significant relief. As with any medication, it is important to use this formulation under the guidance of a healthcare provider, and it should be used exactly as prescribed to ensure the best possible outcome.

Patients should be aware that while this formulation can provide significant relief from pain and inflammation, it is not a cure for the underlying condition. It is also important to note that this formulation may not be suitable for everyone, and patients with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain other medications may not be able to use it. Potential side effects can include skin irritation at the application site, and more serious side effects such as heart palpitations or confusion should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you would like more information about how it can be used in the management of specific conditions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy is always here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

The combination of Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Diclofenac Sodium, and Lidocaine in a topical gel formulation is primarily used for the management of localized pain and inflammation. Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes.

Cyclobenzaprine HCl may interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), increasing the risk of serious side effects such as high fever, severe headache, stiff muscles, and confusion. It may also interact with drugs that cause drowsiness such as antihistamines, drugs for sleep or anxiety, other muscle relaxants, and narcotic pain relievers.

Diclofenac Sodium may interact with anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, and some other NSAIDs, increasing the risk of bleeding. It may also interact with certain high blood pressure medications and diuretics, potentially reducing their effectiveness. Lidocaine may interact with other local anesthetics and certain antiarrhythmic drugs (like tocainide and mexiletine), which could affect heart rhythm.

It's crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you're currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions. Also, avoid consuming alcohol as it may increase the risk of liver damage from Diclofenac Sodium and may add to the drowsiness caused by Cyclobenzaprine HCl.

Remember, this formulation is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. In case of accidental ingestion, seek immediate medical attention. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects such as severe dizziness, fainting, slow or irregular heartbeat, or signs of liver problems (such as dark urine, persistent nausea/vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin), contact your healthcare provider promptly.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines three active ingredients: Cyclobenzaprine HCl, Diclofenac Sodium, and Lidocaine, each with a unique mechanism of action to provide relief from pain and inflammation. The formulation is designed to be applied topically, directly to the skin, where it can be absorbed to target the affected area.

Cyclobenzaprine HCl is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. When applied topically, it can provide targeted relief to the affected area.

Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It is commonly used to treat mild to moderate pain, or signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. In this formulation, it is applied topically to provide direct relief to the area in need.

Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. It works by blocking nerve signals in your body and is often used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by skin irritations such as sunburn, insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and minor cuts, scratches, or burns.

When combined in a semisolid gel formulation, these three ingredients can provide comprehensive pain relief. The gel is designed to be dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application. This means that the medication can be applied directly to the area of pain or inflammation, providing targeted treatment. The gel-like consistency also aids in the absorption of the active ingredients, ensuring that they can effectively provide relief from symptoms.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief from pain and inflammation, it should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. This may include physical therapy, rest, or other medications as recommended by your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about this formulation, how it works, or how it can be used in your treatment plan, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy are always here to help.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. 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.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
