Gabapax Ointment contains active ingredients, including Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine, Capsaicin, and Methyl Salicylate, which reduce pain and inflammation.

This ointment, manufactured by Alteus Biogenics Pvt Ltd, is for external use only. It should be applied directly to the affected area, where it helps manage pain signals from damaged nerves, providing much-needed relief.

## What are the benefits of Gabapax Ointment 30 Gm

Gabapax Ointment 30 Gm is specifically formulated to treat neuropathic pain. Gabapentin in the ointment helps block pain signals from damaged nerves, preventing them from reaching the brain.

Ketoprofen works by lowering the chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation in the body. Lidocaine numbs the area, blocking the transmission of pain signals.
