Topical Cream: Dicl Bacl Gaba Lido Doxe

I have found all of the elements in this topical cream (dicl bacl gaba lido doxe) EXCEPT for "DOXE". Can someone explain the abbreviation of this component and any side-effects?

Hi twotrees,

There are a couple medications that come to mind when I see the abbreviation "Doxe":

[1] Doxycycline - An antibiotic, topically used to treat moderate to severe inflammatory acne, or mild inflammatory acne.

[2] Doxepin - When applied topically, it can reduce itching caused by atopic dermatitis, lichen simplex chronicus, and other skin diseases.

I'm personally leaning towards "Doxepin" due to how close the abbreviation is to the actual drug name and it's topical use-case. If it is Doxepin, you can view a list of possible side effects in the link below:

As for the other ingredients, I'm thinking: Dicyclomine, Baclofen, Gabapentin, & Lidocaine. Were your thoughts on the same page?

It's strange how so many of these pharmaceutical labels don't provide patients with full details.
