Gabapin 400 Capsule

Product Introduction
Gabapin 400 Capsule is used to relieve pain caused by nerve damage (neuropathic pain) due to conditions such as diabetes, shingles (herpes zoster infection), or spinal cord injury. It is also prescribed as part of combination therapy for certain types of seizures (epilepsy).

This medicine belongs to a group of drugs known as anti-epileptics. It can be taken with or without food, but it is important to take it at the same time every day for the best results. The dosage and length of treatment depend on your medical condition and how well you respond to the medication. Treatment usually starts with a lower dose, which is gradually increased. It may take a few weeks before you notice its full benefits, so it is important to continue taking it as directed without missing any doses, as skipping doses may worsen your condition.

Common side effects include tiredness, dizziness, and drowsiness. These effects are generally mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication. If these effects persist or bother you, inform your doctor.

Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it can increase drowsiness and dizziness. Seek medical advice immediately if you experience mood changes such as anxiety, restlessness, depression, or thoughts of self-harm.

Before starting Gabapin 400 Capsule, inform your doctor if you have any kidney-related issues or if you are over 65 years old, as a different dosage may be required. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor before taking this medicine.
