Directions for Use of Gabapax Ointment 30gm

Apply Gabapax Ointment as suggested below:

Ensure that the skin area you're applying the ointment to is clean and dry. You can use soap and water for this, then pat it dry using a clean towel.
Use your fingertip or a clean cotton swab to apply the ointment to the affected area.
The amount needed will depend on the size of the affected area. Apply a thin layer and gently rub it in until fully absorbed.
Wash your hands thoroughly after applying to avoid contact with sensitive areas such as your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Always consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use Gabapax Ointment.

Gabapax Ointment is applied topically.

Gabapax Ointment may have the following side effects:

Redness at the application site
Itching at the application site
Burning sensation at the application site: This means you might feel like the area where you applied the ointment is hot or stinging.
Irritation at the application site: You could notice discomfort or an unpleasant feeling on your skin when you apply the ointment.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Gabapax Ointment. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Itching at the application site: Apply Gabapax Ointment at a different time of day to see if that helps reduce itching.
Burning sensation: If you feel a burning sensation, apply the ointment after cooling the skin with a cold compress.

Gabapax Ointment consists of five active ingredients:

Capsaicin (0.025%): This natural compound derived from chilli peppers works by reducing substance P levels, which transmit pain signals in the body, thereby desensitising pain receptors.
Gabapentin (8%): An anticonvulsant medication that binds to certain elements in calcium channels, reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and altering pain signalling pathways.
Ketoprofen (5%): This non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine inhibits the production of prostaglandins, substances involved in inflammation and pain, thereby helping reduce inflammation.
Lidocaine Hydrochloride (5%): A local anaesthetic that blocks sodium channels which interrupt nerve impulses, resulting in a numbing effect for rapid relief from pain.
Methyl Salicylate (5%): This counter-irritant creates a warming or cooling sensation on the skin which distracts from pain sensations while providing mild analgesic effects.
