Prelica Gel is a combination of two drugs, namely: Gabapentin and Lidocaine. Prelica Gel is used to treat neuropathic pain. Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic drug that works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this helps in relieving nerve pain. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that decreases the pain sensation by blocking the pain signals from nerves to the brain. Together, Prelica Gel helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.
