How Gapitas Products work
Gabapentin + Lidocaine + Baclofen is a combination of three medicines: Gabapentin + Lidocaine + Baclofen1, Gabapentin + Lidocaine + Baclofen2, and Gabapentin + Lidocaine + Baclofen3. Gabapentin + Lidocaine + Baclofen1 is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Gabapentin + Lidocaine + Baclofen2 is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing the sensation of pain. Gabapentin + Lidocaine + Baclofen3 is a muscle relaxant. It works on the centres 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).
