Adding other ingredients or other concentrations has not been studied.
It is possible to add more than 1 ingredient to the same bottle. Due to better drug release and skin penetration we don't recommend higher than recommended concentrations. Adding higher concentrations can change the stability of FoamaDerm™ and may result in precipitation of powder.
The following concentrations and combinations have been tested:
Diclofenac 3% with lidocaine 1% or 2%
Ketoprofen 3% with lidocaine 1% or 2%
Diclofenac 3% with menthol 1%
