Product introduction
GABAgesic Gel 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.
GABAgesic 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 to use GABAgesic Gel
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
How GABAgesic Gel works
GABAgesic Gel is composed of three medicines gabapentin, lidocaine and baclofen. Gabapentin works by binding to calcium channels in nerve cells, which reduces the release of pain signals and calms overactive nerves involved in neuropathic pain. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that blocks sodium channels on nerve endings, preventing the transmission of pain signals from the affected area to the brain. Baclofen acts on GABA receptors in the spinal cord to reduce nerve excitability and relieve muscle spasms that may accompany nerve pain. Together, these three components target different mechanisms of pain, offering effective relief from the burning, tingling, and shooting sensations commonly seen in neuropathic conditions.
