How Gabtan Products work
Gabapentin + Lidocaine is a combination of two medicines: Gabapentin + Lidocaine1 and Gabapentin + Lidocaine2. Gabapentin + Lidocaine1 is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Gabapentin + Lidocaine2 is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing the sensation of pain. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

Q. What is Gabtan Gel used for?
Gabtan Gel is used to help manage neuropathic pain. It works by cooling the skin, then warming it up. This cooling and warming action may help interrupt pain signal transmission through nerves to the brain and reduce pain sensation.
Q. What serious allergic reactions could Gabtan Gel cause?
Rare but severe allergic reactions to Gabtan Gel may include rash, swelling, redness, persistent itching, difficulty breathing, or numbness spreading away from the area. Seek urgent medical help if these occur.
Q. Can Gabtan Gel be used by children or older adults?
Gabtan Gel is typically meant for adults aged 18 years and older. For older adults, start with a small quantity to minimize any increased sensitivity or risk.
Q. What symptoms mean I should stop using Gabtan Gel and see a doctor?
Unexplained severe rash, swelling, burning, persistent skin ulcers, or trouble breathing after using Gabtan Gel require immediate medical attention.
Q. Are there risks if Gabtan Gel is used for too long or on a large skin area?
Long-term or high-quantity use of Gabtan Gel on large body areas may increase the risk of toxicity or severe reactions. Follow your doctor’s advice on dosage and application areas.
Q. Should I avoid covering the Gabtan Gel-treated area with a bandage?
Unless your doctor advises otherwise, avoid wrapping or bandaging the area after Gabtan Gel application, as this may increase absorption and side effects.
