Management of neuropathic pain (e.g., nerve damage from diabetes, shingles)
Relief of localized muscle aches and pains
This combination drug utilizes a multi-modal approach to pain management. Capsaicin depletes substance P, while diclofenac inhibits prostaglandin production to reduce inflammation. Gabapentin modulates calcium channels to alleviate neuropathic pain, and methyl salicylate provides a counterirritant effect and enhances local blood flow.
