Gabapin 300 Capsule

Product Introduction
Gabapin 300 Capsule is a medication used to relieve pain caused by nerve damage (neuropathic pain). This pain can occur due to several conditions such as diabetes, shingles (herpes zoster infection), or spinal cord injuries. It is also prescribed along with other medicines to treat certain types of seizures (fits).

Gabapin 300 belongs to the class of medicines called anti-epileptics. It can be taken with or without food, but it’s important to take it at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness. The dose and duration will depend on your medical condition and how well you respond to the treatment. Doctors usually start with a low dose and gradually increase it to minimize side effects. It may take a few weeks for you to notice the full benefits of this medicine, so continue taking it regularly unless your doctor advises otherwise. Skipping doses may cause your condition to worsen.

Most people taking this medicine do not experience serious side effects. Common symptoms may include tiredness, dizziness, or feeling unusually sleepy. These are generally mild and tend to go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if these effects persist or cause concern, you should consult your doctor.

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Gabapin 300 as it can increase drowsiness and dizziness. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice mood changes such as increased anxiety, agitation, depression, or any harmful thoughts.

Before starting the treatment, let your doctor know if you have kidney problems or if you are over 65 years of age, as a different dosage may be required. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those planning to become pregnant, should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor before using this medication.
