Dear Heather Mcmurray
Please let me know the exact composition of compound cream capcasin,
lidocaine, and the anti-inflammatory ketoprofen as this combination is not
avaliable in India, but these are available individually hence we have to
mix these to make this combination,But for that we need to mix all these in
proper strength.
Can Xylocaine gel can be added in place of Lidocaine?
Can betamethasone gel or any other steroid gel be added to this combination.
in adhesive capsultis and rheumatiod arthritis cases?
Can this combination be used with ultrasound therapy,will ultrasound gel
be necessary to provide a suitable medium to these combination will itself
allow the penetration of ultrasound.
thanks
Dr.S.C.Sood
