Product Introduction
Gapathy 100mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to relieve neuropathic pain caused by conditions such as diabetes, shingles (herpes zoster infection), or spinal cord injury. It is also prescribed in combination with other medicines to help control epileptic seizures. Belonging to the antiepileptic class of medicines, Gapathy helps manage pain and seizures by stabilizing nerve activity and reducing abnormal brain signals.

You can take this medicine with or without food, but it is important to take it at the same time every day for the best results. Your doctor may start you on a low dose and increase it gradually to achieve the right balance between effectiveness and side effects. Do not skip doses, and continue treatment for the full prescribed duration. Stopping suddenly may worsen symptoms or trigger seizures.
