Lidogab Gel (Gabapentin & Lidocaine) – Treatment for Neuropathic Pain

Lidogab Gel is an effective topical medication used to treat neuropathic pain caused by nerve damage due to conditions like diabetes, shingles, or spinal cord injury. It combines two active ingredients, Gabapentin and Lidocaine, which work together to block pain signals from reaching the brain. The gel provides a unique cooling and warming sensation, helping to alleviate chronic pain. Designed for external use only, it should be applied as directed by a doctor for optimal relief. Regular use is recommended to maximize benefits. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth, and consult a doctor before use if pregnant.
