Gabapin NT Tablet

Product introduction
Gabapin NT Tablet is a combination medicine primarily used to manage neuropathic pain, which occurs due to damage to the nerves. It helps reduce pain by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, thereby providing relief from discomfort caused by conditions like diabetes, shingles, or spinal cord injuries.

This medicine is taken orally, with or without food, preferably at bedtime. For best results, it should be taken at the same time every day to maintain a steady level in the bloodstream. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, do not take two doses at once. It is very important to complete the entire treatment course, even if you start feeling better. Avoid stopping the medication suddenly without medical advice, as it may worsen your condition.

Some commonly reported side effects include constipation, dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, dry mouth, weight gain, and difficulty in urination. Since it can cause drowsiness and affect your focus, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. To control weight gain, maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual mood changes, as this medicine can sometimes cause suicidal thoughts in rare cases.

Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any liver or kidney problems or if you are taking other medications, as some medicines may interfere with its effectiveness. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine.
