Topical Pain Compounds

Custom topical formulations for neuropathic, musculoskeletal, and localized pain — combining neuromodulators, anesthetics, NSAIDs, and vasodilators at the site of pain.

About Topical Pain

Topical pain compounds deliver active drug directly to the site of pain while avoiding most systemic exposure and side effects. Typical ingredients span several pharmacological classes: neuromodulators (gabapentin, pregabalin, amitriptyline), local anesthetics (lidocaine, ketamine), muscle relaxants (baclofen, cyclobenzaprine), NSAIDs (diclofenac, ketoprofen, meloxicam), TRPV1 agonists (capsaicin), vasodilators for anal fissures and Raynaud's (nifedipine, diltiazem, verapamil), and alpha-2 agonists (clonidine). Compounding pharmacies prepare these in creams, gels, and transdermal bases — often as multi-ingredient combinations tailored to the specific pain syndrome.
