How It Works

Each ingredient plays a specific role in pain relief:

Diclofenac 3%

A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that:

• Reduces inflammation
• Decreases swelling
• Relieves joint and soft tissue pain

Gabapentin 3%

A nerve-modulating medication that:

• Relieves muscle tightness

Lidocaine 5%

A local anesthetic that:

By combining multiple mechanisms of action, this formulation addresses inflammatory, muscular, and neuropathic pain simultaneously.

Benefits of Topical Pain Therapy
