My dr. just prescribed me topical c/l. Has anyone tried this? I had to get it from a compounding pharmacy

Surprised - usually topical absorption is only attempted for low dose meds

Do you know what the actual composition is? I've never heard of a topical but I am interested to know more.

I am very interested as well. Will insurance cover this?

Is there a branded name for it that I can refer to with my neurologist?

I don't think so. I had to go to a compounding pharmacy. As it turns out,though, the cream didn't work well for me.
