Gabafix Gel is used to treat neuropathic pain. It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. It decreases the pain by modulating calcium channel activity.

Gabafix Gel is only meant for external use and should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. Rub a thin layer of the medicine into the affected areas with clean and dry hands. Avoid getting in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth and avoid applying it on wounded or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact with these areas, you should rinse it with plenty of cold water.

It is generally well-tolerated with little or no side effects. However, it may cause burning or stinging sensation at the site of application in some people. These are usually temporary and resolve with time. If they get worse or do not go away, you should let your doctor know.

Although medicines used on the skin are not normally affected by other medicines you should let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicine to be safe. You should also let your doctor know if you have any medical conditions or disorders to make sure it is safe. Ask your doctor for advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How to use Gabafix 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 Gabafix Gel works

Gabafix Gel is a combination of five medications. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by stopping the body's production of a substance (prostaglandin) that causes pain. Capsaicin works by decreasing a certain natural substance in your body (substance P) that helps pass pain signals to the brain. Menthol and methyl salicylate work by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract you from feeling the aches/pains deeper in your muscles and joints. Pregabalin works by decreasing the number of pain signals that are sent out by damaged nerves in the body. This combination specially works to provide relief in neuropathic pain.

I have pain in my shin bone and lower leg/ calf muscles. I consulted so many docters who prescribed me multi vitamins/minerals & muscle relaxant but I didn't get relief. Now I am consulting a bone & joint specialist, he prescribed me 1 tablet Duloxetine 30 mg & 1 Cap of Neurokind LC for 1 month After taking these medicins I got 95 % relief in my pains. After 1 month my docter advised to take 1 cap of Gabafix plus for 3 months instead of duloxetine & neurokind. But I am not getting the results as I got from duloxetine. I told this to my docter & he advise me to take both gabafix plus & duloxetine for 3 months. Plez tell me that is it safe to take both of these simultaneously. I woory that I may get addicted to duloxetine if I take it for 3 moths long.
