<p>Has anybody ever heard of pgb cream put out by Smart Pharmacy I just was prescribed to me by my orthopedic doctor. After insurance it cost around $67 and it is piroxicam gabapentin and benzocaine? Is anybody ever heard of it or used it or aware of it in any way? I need to know before I get involved with this.</p>

Good evening @donfeld. Smart Pharmacy is a compounding pharmacy. Every Rx is unique and custom-crafted by the physician and pharmacy technician to meet a specific need. I used one for a couple of years. It was $75 for a medium-sized jar. It was lidocaine-based plus some other medications, including opioids if I recall. Mine were topicals which were changed regularly to increase the chance of it controlling the needle-like neuropathy pain in my hands, wrists, and arms.
It worked fairly well for perhaps an hour and then I needed more. I called my neurologist and between the three of us.....to include the compounder, we were able to stay up with the progression of the pain for quite some time. Good luck with it.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
