Abstract: Most pain relief products on the market, if they work at all are labeled “for temporary relief”. A person in pain for whatever reason desires three things. Since pain is not enjoyable, quick action is the first. For the same reason, long lasting is the second. The third consideration is as safe a product as possible. “Pearl Blue” performs all these needs quite well. The lidocaine is quick, begins relief in some degree in minutes. The other 6 ingredients penetrate at different rates so that as one diminishes the others in succession are working down the time chart to bring their own individual relief for up to 3 hours or longer depending on the sufferers own body chemistry. And the ingredients work together to aid each other in the whole result and have been time tested individually to be safe for generations.

Abstract: Many chemical and pharmaceutical compositions are known to produce antinociceptive effects that are helpful in relieving pain and inflammation. Both opioids and local anesthetics serve an important function in providing peripheral pain relief. Topical administration of pain-relieving drugs to the periphery offers important advantages over systemic or local, non-topical administration. The present invention provides topical pharmaceutical compositions, formulated with at least one local anesthetic and at least one opioid analgesic in a topical excipient. The present invention also provides methods for relieving pain in a subject through topical administration of the pharmaceutical composition in an amount and a duration sufficient to synergistically potentiate an antinociceptive response. Synergistic potentiation of analgesia through topical administration of a local anesthetic/opioid pharmaceutical composition provides a new and improved approach to peripheral pain management.
