About Progaba Plus Gel 30 gm

Progaba Plus Gel 30 gm is a combination medicine used to treat neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic, progressive nerve condition in which the neurological system is injured or malfunctioning, resulting in nerve pain. Amputation of limbs, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels), alcoholism (abundant alcohol consumption), and chemotherapy can all cause neuropathic pain.

Progaba Plus Gel 30 gm is a combination of three medications, namely: Baclofen, Gabapentin, and Lidocaine. Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant that relaxes muscles to relieve pain and discomfort. Gabapentin helps to relieve nerve pain by binding to a specific location on voltage-gated calcium channels. Lidocaine alleviates pain by blocking pain signals from nerves to the brain. Thereby, Progaba Plus Gel 30 gm aids in the relief of neuropathic pain.

The majority of these side effects do not necessitate medical attention and will subside gradually over time. However, if you are experiencing these side effects regularly, you should consult your doctor.
