Medicinal Benefits of Gabafen Ointment

Capsaicin Based Rubefacients + Diclofenac + Gabapentin + Methyl Salicylate is a combination of four medicines: Capsaicin Based Rubefacients , Diclofenac , Gabapentin , and Methyl Salicylate. Capsaicin Based Rubefacients is a plant derivative which activates certain receptors to cause prolonged desensitization of the local pain nerves. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Gabapentin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Methyl Salicylate is used as topical analgesic (pain reliever).
