Hello, 4dabirds! How are you?

Diclo stand for 3% Diclofenac, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory used to relieve pain and swelling. Bac is 2% Baclofen, which is a muscle relaxant. Cyc is 2% Cyclobenzaprine, which is another muscle relaxant. Gab stands for 10% Gabapentin, which is an anticonvulsant that's also used to treat certain types of nerve pain. Pen is 5% Penicillin, which is an antibiotic used to treat or prevent topical infections in such a mixture.

I am not completely sure on the Bup, but it might be 5% Buprenorphine, which is a narcotic analgesic.

The most common side effects are skin reddening and application site irritation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm allergic 2 penicillin. Dang doctor should've caught that. Can I still use it since it's a low percentage?
