Good Afternoon Members,
Today I was told about a cream that needs a prescription and it is used for a myriad of things including PN the name of the cream is "KBDGNT". I called the drug store that has it and said I need a prescription. I called my drug store and they never heard of it. I am wondering if any of you members have heard of or used this cream as I am on a mission to find it. Thank you. |

Hi Uglogirl,
Not exactly sure but it could be: Ketamine, Baclofen, Dexamethasone, Gabapentin, Nifedipine, Tetracaine. The pharmacy should be able to verify the ingredients. |

Compounded creams with individualized ingredients are typically custom made by compounding pharmacies.
They have limited shelf lives, should be stored carefully, and have a special base that is designed to carry the ingredients into the body. (most topical creams do not do this, and remain only on the skin.) They are expensive and some insurances won't cover them. But some do.

I've tried a couple. The one I am using now containes Ketamine, Amitriptyline, Gabapentin, Tetracaine and the star of the show: Clonidine. I highly recommend it. The downside, as Mrs D said is the cost and that many insurance companies do not cover it (mine doesn't). They really should!

There are many many threads about this cream in the archives, including various mixtures/"recipes". Links to archive searches don't seem to work with this version of vbulletin (the software NT runs on), but you can find them easily...
Three of the longest threads are: Compounding cream Compounded Cream Need recommendation for compounding cream however I think it would be helpful/prudent to read the shorter threads as well. Doc

I was told a few days ago by my podiatrist that she would be sending an order for a compound pain cream as my nerve in my foot is still inflamed, even after an injection. The injection helped for about a week, but then the pain returned.
I was prescribed Voltaren cream a couple months ago but never used it. It turns out the pain I was experiencing then was likely neuropathy, I just hadn't been tested yet. Good luck! |
