Alan's podiatrist gave him a compound cream

I'm not sure if it's a cream or an ointment. I made a video so I could show you and I list the ingredients.

Here is what it is

He's trying it out tonight. He's never had a compound anything before so we shall see.

Will update.

I don't understand the clonidine in it. This is typically only used in RSD patients.

Does Alan take blood pressure pills? The clonidine may be absorbed enough to affect blood pressure in some patients.

Most of the formulas I saw didn't have this many ingredients.
Not all patients need all the ones listed on that label.

For pain, it would be ketamine, an NSAID, maybe gabapentin, and maybe a TCA. Baclofen is only for spasms...does Alan have spasms?

HI Hopeful and Mrs D.

Mrs. D, I read your post to Alan. He didn't understand the word spasm. I showed him when the toes curl and he said "Oh I always have that". So he has spasms obviously. Then I told him about the blood pressure connection. He takes metoprolol.

I asked him if this compound has helped him and he said "Yup, I do notice some improvement'

He is now going to run this by Dr. Fred the next time he sees him. But so far, no negative side effects.

Will continue to update.

My podiatrist gave my husband a compound cream that has similar ingredients. He has been using it and he says its helping his feet. He is waiting for the order to come which the doctor's office took care of submitting. I'm dying to see how this works regarding the prescription.

I'm curious. If this works for my husband and the podiatrist writes us a prescription, is this considered a generic product. We can really use the break if this is covered under generic. I have to go and ask the pharmacy tomorrow. I once asked them if they were a compound pharmacy and they said yes, so that's good. We've been going to this pharmacy for 20 years.
