How Gabapax Ointment works
Gabapax Ointment is a combination of five medications. Neuropathic pain is pain originating from damaged nerves. Gabapentin reduces pain transmission in damaged neurons by impacting glutamate receptors. Ketoprofen works by decreasing the substances that lead to pain and swelling in the body. It lowers the sensitivity of the pain receptors when applied topically. Ketoprofen is a compounded cream which can help manage mild to moderate pain or the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Lidocaine works by restricting the nerves from sending pain signals to the brain. Capsaicin works by decreasing a certain natural substance in your body (substance P) that helps pass pain signals to the brain. Methyl salicylate works by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm.
