Is Ketamine Advisable For Peripheral Neuropathy?
PYes I hope you can help me. I have been suffering from peripheral neuropathy for the last 11 years. My doctor has prescribed Ketamine PLO to help with my pain. I am to put it on once a day. I am skeptic that it will work. I have been taking Percocet and Morphine but this new doctor has been titrading me down. Please let me know if this could possibly help or am I just wasting my money. Thank you

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
Ketamine PLO gel applied topically has been found effective for 73% of patients with neuropathic pain.
If it alone seems to complete relieve the pain, an anti seizure medication like Gabapentin can be taken for neuropathic pain.
Hope this answers your question
