Gabantin 300 MG Description
Gabantin 300mg capsule contains Gabapentin as its active ingredient that is mainly used along with other medicines to help control certain types of seizures (fits) and neuropathic pain (pain due to d
amaged nerves). This capsule belongs to the class medicines used to treat brain-related conditions like fits. This capsule helps to relieve neuropathic pain (abnormal painful sensation caused in various body parts due to the inability of the brain to sense external stimuli). Gabapentin in this medicine acts by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain and changing the way the body senses pain signals. Take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor for the prescribed duration. Sudden stopping of this medicine may worsen the underlying condition. Your doctor will gradually reduce the dose of this medicine. It is recommended that you should take this medicine at the same time every day for better results. Tell your doctor about your health condition before taking this medicine.
