Gabadon 100 Tablet

Product introduction
Gabadon 100 Tablet is a medicine commonly used to relieve pain caused by nerve damage, such as that which occurs in diabetes, shingles (herpes zoster), or spinal cord injuries. It is also prescribed alongside other medicines to manage certain types of seizures. Belonging to the group of anti-epileptic drugs, it works by calming overactive nerve signals in the brain and nerves.

You can take this tablet with or without meals, but try to have it at the same time every day for the best effect. Your doctor will decide the right dose depending on your health condition and how your body responds. Treatment usually begins with a smaller dose, which is then gradually increased. It might take a few weeks before the benefits become noticeable, so it’s important to keep taking it regularly as advised. Avoid missing doses, as this could make your symptoms worse.

Possible side effects
Many people tolerate Gabadon 100 Tablet well, but some may feel sleepy, dizzy, or more tired than usual. These effects are generally mild and tend to settle on their own after a short time. If they continue or cause discomfort, it is best to inform your doctor. Occasionally, other effects like changes in appetite, joint or muscle pain, blurred vision, or unusual movements can occur. Mood changes such as anxiety, depression, or self-harming thoughts should be reported to a doctor right away.

Why it is used
Doctors prescribe this medicine for two main reasons: nerve pain and epilepsy. In cases of neuropathic pain, it reduces burning or shooting sensations, improves sleep, and helps people carry out daily activities with less discomfort. For epilepsy, it helps to control seizures by reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. With consistent use, it not only eases pain but can also enhance mood, rest, and overall quality of life.

How it works
Gabadon 100 Tablet works in two different ways. For nerve pain, it blocks signals traveling through damaged nerves, reducing discomfort. For epilepsy, it helps stabilize nerve activity in the brain, preventing sudden surges that cause seizures.

Safety advice
Alcohol should be avoided, as combining it with this medicine may cause excessive drowsiness or dizziness. Pregnant women are generally advised caution, as animal studies have shown possible risks to the baby, so the doctor will weigh the pros and cons before prescribing. During breastfeeding, it is usually considered safe if prescribed, though infants may need monitoring for unusual sleepiness or weight changes. This medicine can affect alertness, so avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy, tired, or have vision problems. People with kidney disease may need a dose adjustment, while information on liver safety is limited, so medical guidance is necessary.

Missed dose
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If your next scheduled dose is close, skip the missed one and continue as normal. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one missed.
