How BrandName works
This medicine contains baclofen, gabapentin, and lidocaine, which work together to relieve pain and discomfort. Baclofen relaxes muscles and reduces muscle spasms by acting on the nervous system. Gabapentin reduces abnormal nerve activity and decreases the transmission of pain signals. Lidocaine blocks sodium channels in nerve cells, temporarily numbing the affected area and reducing pain sensations. Together, they help provide effective relief from nerve-related pain and localized discomfort.
