Ingredients In Lidocain

Where can I find green lizard? ## Hi Kim, From what others have stated, "Green Lizard" is supposedly a compounded prescription containing a mixture of Lidocaine + Maalox + Donnatal. So it sounds like you may just have to speak with your doctor about writing a special prescription for it, provided that he understands your purpose for needing it. Apparently one of its primary uses is for cases of indigestion. NOTE: if it's of any help with your search, I did find that some people also refer to this cocktail as "The Green Goddess" I hope this info helps!

My Dr. prescribed Nystatin, Diphhen, Rulox, Lido for a sore throat that has lingered for three months. The directions are to swish and swallow 15mls every 8 hours. I get the numbness described in your thread, but only for about 10 minutes. It does not mention not eating before/after dosage, however, I have chronic constipation and wondered if it is from this compound? ## Hi Macrooster, Sorry to hear about your throat. How has it been feeling since the timing of your post? According to NIH.gov, constipation is indeed listed as a side effect of Diphen (Diphenhydramine). I didn't find this side effect listed under any of the other ingredients you mentioned, but hopefully this will help shed some light on what might've been causing your chronic constipation. Have you tried taking an...

What is this transdermal delivefry system used for an what other ingrediants is in this compounded medicine ## This is a topical pain reliever, the Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and the lidocaine is a topical anesthetic. The most common side effect is irritation of the area where it's been applied. You can learn more Ketoprofen details here and there are more Lidocaine details here. However, I don't know what the other inactive ingredients are, since it's compounded as you stated and that can vary from pharmacy to pharmacy. Have you asked them? They should be happy to provide you with that information.

I was told I was being injected with cordizone and found out it was 4 cc"s of lidicaine and one other ingredient. Is lidacaine normally in a cordizone shot? ## Hello, Stephen! How are you? Cortisone should contain exactly that, it is classified by the FDA as a corticosteroid that is used to alleviate inflammation. Your doctor may use it with Lidocaine, because it is a local anesthetic that can help relieve pain, until the steroid has a chance to work. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including administration site irritation, redness, swelling and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am the person who thought he was getting cortisone and found that the injection given was 4 c c's Lidocaine and the mystery ingredient I found was Kenalog?

I am taking a combination of lidocaine, diphenhydramine and nystatin for thrush that I get often from chemo, but this one seems different from the medicine I usually take and I am not liking it too much. Is this the magic mouthwash or did they give me something different? It costs less so that made wonder why. ## Hello, Ginny! How are you? There is no specific mix for magic mouthwash, it really depends on what your doctor orders, and what your pharmacy has in stock, when they create it for you, since it is not an actual manufactured product. The ingredients, and the amounts of them can vary from area to area, and from doctor to doctor. What about it seems different? The FDA lists the typical side effects of this ingredient as including mouth/throat numbness, funny taste, and nausea.

Can anyone tell me the prescription trade name for a cream containing baclofen 20 mg, ketoprofen 150(?), and lidocaine 50 mg? ## From my own investigation, pain creams that contain these types of ingredients are formulated in compound pharmacies and therefore do not have a trade name like many other topical prescriptions. These are just generic topical formulas that can vary in ingredients with anything from what's listed below, to other combinations that I have not included here: -Baclofen, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine -Baclofen Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine -Baclofen, Cyclobenzaprine, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine -Baclofen Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine, Dicyclomine -Ketoprofen, Gabapentin, Lidocaine, Amitriptyline Hope this helps! ## My compounding pharmacy calls it Baclo-Keto-Lido 2/10...

I had my colon removed, now I have this burning sensation after each bowel movement. After each movement I apply Lidocaine for relief but it burns worse and won't cease until I remove it. When I was using the lower % 2.5, that worked but had to use a lot for relief. I tried the 5% at the diva office and it worked fine but doesn't now. ...why? ## Do have any more details on it, such as the ingredients, or the manufacturer? That would give me the information needed to research this for you. It is possible that you are just sensitive to some ingredient in that dosage, the FDA does warn that skin burning, and irritation can be side effects, along with redness, and scaling skin. At the office they may have had one made by a different manufacture, your pharmacy might have provided you...

My eldery lady has back pain all the time, she is confined to her recliner and she doesn't walk. Will this combination of diclofenac, gabapentin & lidocaine help alleviate her back pain? It originally was presribed for pain in her feet. ## Hi Patti, As a topical pain-relieving cream, it may help. However, one cannot distinctly say that it will or will not without trying it first. - Diclofenac is a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) marketed for use in treating mild to moderate pain/inflammation. - Gabapentin is marketed for use in treating nerve pain (as well as certain types of seizures). - Lidocaine is a sodium channel blocker marketed for use in relieving pain and numbing tissue (skin). To what extent these ingredients will help her pain is anyone's guess... How...

I am researching this cream for a client with the following ingredients: Diclofenac 1.5% Gabapentin 2.5% Lidocaine 2.337% Prolocaine 2.337% Does anyone have additional information on it? ## Hello, Don! How are you? This cream is actually something that is specially ordered by a patient's doctor, and it must be created by a compounding pharmacy. There really is no standard list of ingredients, it can vary from doctor to doctor, according to what they think will work best for their patient. This combination is usually used for topical, or muscular pain relief, and the FDA lists the side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, flaking, and headache. To explain it more for you, Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that is also u...

is keprocaine cream good for knee pain and inflamation ## Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what little bit of information I could gather, Keprocaine cream is a topical pain cream with the following active ingredients: Ketoprofen - nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Baclofen - used to treat muscle spasms and tightness Cyclobenzaprine - skeletal muscle relaxant Lidocaine - local anesthetic With that said, I do believe it could be beneficial for knee pain and inflammation. Additionally, I would also highly recommend looking into "hyaluronic acid injections" for knee pain, as I've heard some great things about its effectiveness. I hope this helps!

I have a compound cream and am trying to figure out what is in it exactly before using it... My bottle reads: Gaba 3 / ketop 2 / lido 2.5 / Bupiv 2.5 ## Hi there.. Did you ever figure out what was in your cream? Got my cream today & has exactly same contents.. But can't figure out what they are.. Thanks in advance.. ## Based on the abbreviations you provided, this is a specially ordered cream used for topical pain relief, so ingredients can vary from area to area, but in this case, it contains Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine, and Bupivacaine. There are some details from Medline Plus and DailyMed about the various ingredients. In this case, side effects are typically only relevant to its topical application and are listed as possibly including skin irritation, redness, burning,...

What is "LI 2.5%/PR 2.5%/CY 0.1%/GA 6%/AR"? I found it in my mother's medicine cabinet and she doesn't remember what it's for. ## These are specialized ointments ordered by a doctor and filled by a compounding pharmacy, but going by what I've learned, my best guess from what you've listed is that it contains Lidocaine (which is as topical anesthetic), Pregabalin (which is used to treat nerve pain), Cyclobenzaprine (which is a muscle relaxant), and Gabapentin (which is also used to treat nerve pain.) However, you can always contact the pharmacy to be sure. They should be able to tell you the precise ingredients, in case I'm wrong, as well as why it was prescribed. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, drynes...

What goes into it? It's a green liquid, nasty taste, compounded from a pharmacy. ## What are the green lizard ingredients for indigestion? ## Green lizard is a compound prescription. It is a mixture of Lidocaine, Maalox, and Donnatal. My doctor prescribed it for pain in my esophagus and stomach. Hope this helps! ## And can u get these ingredients over the counter for Green Lizard mix? ## When I got my latest prescription for green lizzard (which is my salvation) the pharmacist called to tell me that it was going to cost $750.00 because the price of the Donnatal had gone up. So I had them leave out the Donnatal and only mix the Malox and Lidocaine. It's obviously not as efficient. Does anyone have an idea for a substitute for the Donnatal? ## Common behind the scenes usage in E.R...

iam having trought infection which tablet is suitable ## Orofar is only used to treat inflammatory conditions of the mouth and larynx. It contains the active ingredients Benzoxonium and Lidocaine, so it will not be effective at treating an actual infection. An infection requires an antibiotic and most of them require a doctor's prescription. Have you seen a doctor for this, yet? It is also very important that you only use an antibiotic if there is a confirmed infection present. I am not sure what antibiotics are available, since I don't know where you are located, however, you can learn more about them here:

I was giving this compound for my foot by a doctor, but is their any type of reaction I could have from using this compound cream ## That means the active ingredients are Ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and Lidocaine, which is a topical anesthetic. Learn more Ketoprofen details here. Learn more Lidocaine details here. Usually, you don't absorb enough of it to experience many side effects, so the most commonly reported issues are irritation to the area where you apply it. Is there anything else I can help with?

TOPICAL NUMBING SOLUTION ## According to NIH.gov, XAP is an alternative to cocaine for topical anesthesia. Source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8214878 XAP stands for Xylocaine (lidocaine) + Adrenaline + Pontocaine (tetracaine) Another common abbreviation for this combination drug is LAT, which stands for the active ingredients lidocaine, adrenaline and tetracaine. I'm under the impression that XAP refers to the brand name while LAT refers to the generic version. Clinical trials note that "LAT gel (tetracaine-adrenaline-lidocaine) worked as well as TAC (tetracaine-adrenaline-cocaine) gel for topical anesthesia in facial and scalp lacerations." - They also go on to state that LAT gel compared favorably with injectable buffered lidocaine for local anesthesia effectiveness and was s...

What is the compound DICL/GABA/LIDO/PRIL? ## As you mentioned, this sounds like a compounded medication.

Can you tell me where to purchase Welby medicated patches? ## Where can I purchase Welby medicated pads in Hyattsville, Md? ## Have you guys tried Salonpas patches? I find them to be effective. The active ingredients are Camphor, Menthol, and Methyl Salicylate. They also make a version with Lidocaine which are even stronger. Also, would you happen to have the original packaging available for Welby, or happen to recall what the active ingredients were? Might be possible to find a similar enough product with that information.
