is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It works
by first cooling and then warming up the skin. Thus, it calms the damaged or
overactive nerves by acting on the brain, thereby decreasing the sensation of
pain.
Gabatrom Gel
is for external use only. You should use this in the dose and duration advised
by your doctor. Clean and dry the affected area before applying this medicine
to the skin. You should always wash your hands after applying it unless hands
are the affected area.
There are no
major side effects associated with this medicine, but it can cause some
application site burning, irritation, itching or redness. However, these side
effects are temporary and usually resolve on their own. Please consult your
doctor if these do not subside or bother you.

HOW
GABAGESIC GEL WORKS
Gabatrom Gel
is a combination of three medicines: Gabapentin, Lidocaine, and Baclofen.
Gabapentin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating
calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic
which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby
decreasing the sensation of pain. Baclofen is a muscle relaxant. It works on
the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm
without reduction in strength. This improves pain and movement of muscles.
Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
