How Does It Work?

• Gaba Gel contains gabapentin and lidocaine as active substances.
• Gabapentin binds to certain proteins in the body and causes a reduction in pain.
• Lidocaine is a topical anaesthetic that prevents pain by blocking pain signals at the nerve endings in the skin.

Interactions with other medicines

• Since Gaba Gel is to be used externally on the skin, it is less likely to interact with other medicines.
• However, consult your doctor if you are taking other medicines for treating other health conditions.
• Particular care should be taken if you are using medicines to treat abnormal/irregular heart rhythm (tocainide, mexiletine).
• The use of Gaba Gel with medicines for treating acid indigestion (cimetidine), high blood pressure (propranolol), in high doses or for a long period of time may increase the level of Gaba Gel in the body.
• Gaba Gel when used together with other local anaesthetics may increase the risk of toxicity.
