How Gabafenac Gel works
Gabafenac Gel is a combination of five medicines. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Capsaicin desensitize the nerve endings which alleviates the pain, whereas rubefacients increase the blood flow of the affected area to give a warm and soothing feeling. Menthol, is an organic compound, extracted from peppermint oil. It activates the cold sensing chemical messenger, which gives a cooling effect. Methyl Salicylate is a natural component that prevents inflammation (pain, redness, and swelling) by blocking chemical messengers (prostaglandin and thromboxane). Pregabalin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases the pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells.
