My pain management doc gave me this cream and I forgot to ask him about possible long-term side effects. I will see him again, but in the interim, thought I'd post here to see if anyone can shed some light.

The ingredients:
solaraze 3% gel 25 gm
celebrex 2%
gabapentin 3%
cyclobenzaprine 1%
QS Lidocaine 3% 120 gm

Compounded at the Life Line Pharmacy

What is the name of this product?

gabapentin is for neuropathy.....nerve pain
lidocaine is a local pain killer
celebrex is for arthritis (joint paint)
solaraze is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
cyclobenzaprine is a skeletal muscle relaxant and a central nervous system (CNS)
depressant.

This cream does not have a 'name', the doc gave it to me. He had this concoction made by a compounding pharmacy.

any compounding pharmacist can make it up for you, Rhapsody.....if he has the go ahead from your doc.........xoxox pat

withit, you're welcome. here to serve.

Of course the lidocaine is a pain reliever, as is the gabapentin for neuropathic pain. I'm a bit concerned about the celebrex, since it was recalled as a pill. Looks like a good concoction for pain relief! Hope it helps!
