Ketriplin Cream 20 gm

Ketriplin Cream 20 gm is a combination medicine indicated for the management of neuralgia (neuropathic pain). Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease which causes nerve pain due to damaged sensory nerves. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain caused by events usually not painful).

Ketriplin Cream 20 gm is a combination of two drugs: Amitriptyline (tricyclic antidepressant) and Ketamine (anaesthesia). Amitriptyline works by increasing the serotonin and noradrenaline (natural substances) levels in the brain, thereby preventing the movement of pain signals in the brain. Ketamine is a general anaesthetic that blocks certain receptors (NMDA), thereby decreasing pain sensation. Thus, Ketriplin Cream 20 gm effectively alleviates neuropathic pain.

Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to use Ketriplin Cream 20 gm for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as application site reactions such as skin dryness and itching. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not use Ketriplin Cream 20 gm if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor.
