It doesn't have a name as the Physiatrist had the compounding pharmacy make it up special for my situation, which is something they can do! It has Gabapentin, a strong ibuprofin, a muscle relaxant, and Lidocaine. I got some over the counter lidocaine cream from the drug store, to see if the doctor's cream was just numbing the pain, but the plain lidocaine ointment did nothing for me, so must be the other ingredients. I hope your husband finds some help and relief. My physiatrist told me he has other combinations too if this cream stops working so well, but right now it is great. I really can't believe how much it helps me sleep at night because my feet are calm...
