How Gabfin Ointment works

Gabfin Ointment is a combination of three medicines. Gabapentin is an antiepileptic medication. It decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Diclofenac and Methyl Salicylate are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). They work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).
