Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a unique compounded formulation of Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% in a topical gel format. This innovative formulation is designed to address a range of health conditions, including chronic pain, neuropathic pain, and opioid addiction.

Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant medication, is frequently used in the management of chronic and neuropathic pain. It functions by inhibiting certain nerve signals in the brain, thereby reducing pain and enhancing the quality of life. Naltrexone HCl, on the other hand, is an opioid antagonist used in the treatment of opioid addiction. It operates by blocking the effects of opioids, which can aid in reducing cravings and preventing relapse.

This formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency.

If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in managing your condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment option for your specific needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% Topical Gel is a semisolid preparation designed for easy and precise application on the skin. It is primarily used for the targeted treatment of chronic pain, opioid dependence, and opioid withdrawal symptoms. However, it is not recommended for patients with a history of hypersensitivity to either Gabapentin or Naltrexone, or for those with a history of alcohol or drug abuse.

While using this formulation, patients should be closely monitored for signs of opioid withdrawal, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and anxiety. It is also crucial to watch for signs of opioid overdose, which may include confusion, drowsiness, shallow breathing, and loss of consciousness.

Patients are advised to abstain from alcohol and other CNS depressants while using this formulation. They should also avoid activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, until they understand how this formulation affects them.

It is important to avoid using this formulation in conjunction with other topical medications, as this may increase the risk of adverse effects. Similarly, patients should avoid using this formulation with other medications that may interact with Gabapentin or Naltrexone, such as anticonvulsants, sedatives, or muscle relaxants.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its use, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as chronic pain, neuropathy, and opioid addiction. Together, these active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate pain and inflammation, while simultaneously blocking the effects of opioids.

When applied topically, the Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% Topical Gel is absorbed through the skin, allowing it to enter the bloodstream. The Gabapentin component works to mitigate pain and inflammation, while the Naltrexone HCl acts to block the effects of opioids. This dual-action mechanism not only helps to reduce pain and inflammation but also aids in minimizing the risk of opioid addiction.

For those dealing with chronic pain, this topical gel offers an alternative to oral medications. It is applied directly to the affected area, providing targeted relief from pain and inflammation. In cases of neuropathy, the Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% Topical Gel can help alleviate symptoms such as numbness and tingling.

For individuals grappling with opioid addiction, this topical gel can be a valuable tool in reducing the risk of relapse. The Naltrexone HCl component effectively blocks the effects of opioids, thereby reducing the risk of relapse.

If you have any questions or need further information about the Gabapentin 6%/Naltrexone HCl 1% Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to reach out. Our team of compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy is always ready to assist and provide the necessary guidance.

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.
