How ARIGABA OINTMENT Works

ARIGABA OINTMENT is a combination of Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, Capsaicin, and
Methyl Salicylate where Gabapentin acts by blocking the pain signals traveling
through the damaged nerves and managing nerve pain. Ketoprofen works by blocking
the effects of prostaglandin (substance produced during injury and inflammation
causing pain) pain signals between the brain and nerve endings. Capsaicin works
by activating certain receptors to cause prolonged desensitization of the local
pain nerves. Methyl Salicylate acts by dilating the blood vessels and increasing
blood flow. It causes irritation of the skin and because of counter-irritation,
there is a sensation of warmth and relief in musculoskeletal pain.
