Compounded ingredients
Your physician selects active ingredients based on your pain type, location, and history.
Ketoprofen
An NSAID that penetrates deeply to reduce local inflammation at the site of pain. Ideal for arthritis and tendinopathies.
Lidocaine / Prilocaine
Local anesthetics that interrupt pain signal transmission at the nerve level for fast-acting topical relief.
Capsaicin
Depletes substance P at sensory nerve endings, reducing pain sensation over repeated application.
Gabapentin
Topical gabapentin reduces neuropathic pain signaling — useful for radiculopathy and nerve-related back pain.
Cyclobenzaprine
A muscle relaxant for spasm-driven back pain and myofascial pain syndromes with localized muscle tightness.
Custom Combinations
Your physician may combine multiple actives — e.g., ketoprofen + lidocaine + gabapentin — targeting your specific pain profile.
