I would not think this combo product would work topically.

The quinidine has to be absorbed and go to the liver to extend the effects of the DM.

This is a link explaining the actions of quinidine to block metabolism of DM in the liver:

The link I gave earlier in this thread, also lists other drugs affected by quinidine. Quinidine at one time was a common drug for the treatment of arrhythmias of the heart. Because it interacts with so many other drugs as illustrated here, it has fallen into disuse.

This link from drug checker at drugs.com lists them all, and you can see that this new drug combo should be treated with care and respect because of it.
