Gabapin 100 Tablet

Product introduction
Gabapin 100 Tablet is a medication primarily used to manage nerve pain (neuropathic pain) caused by conditions such as diabetes, shingles (herpes zoster), or spinal cord injuries. It is also used in combination with other medicines to help control certain types of seizures.

Belonging to the anti-epileptic class of drugs, Gabapin 100 Tablet can be taken with or without meals. For best results, take it at the same time each day. Your doctor will usually start with a low dose and gradually increase it based on your response and condition. It may take a few weeks for the medicine to show its full effect, so it’s important to continue taking it as prescribed. Stopping suddenly or missing doses can worsen your condition.

Most people do not experience serious side effects while taking this medication. The common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, and tiredness, which generally subside as your body adjusts to the treatment. If any of these symptoms persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor.

Avoid alcohol while using Gabapin 100 Tablet as it can increase sleepiness and dizziness. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience unusual mood changes, such as anxiety, agitation, depression, or thoughts of self-harm.

Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know if you have kidney problems or are over 65 years old, as your dosage may need to be adjusted. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy should seek medical advice before use.
