Medicine information
उपयोग
Gabapentin is a prescription medicine belonging to the anticonvulsant class. It is used to manage certain types of neuropathic pain and specific seizure disorders. Depending on the approved formulation and clinical assessment, Gabapentin may be prescribed for postherpetic neuralgia, which is persistent nerve pain following shingles, and as an additional treatment for partial-onset seizures. Gabapentin works by interacting with specific calcium channel subunits in the nervous system, helping regulate abnormal nerve signalling. It may reduce nerve pain symptoms such as burning, tingling, and shooting discomfort in eligible patients. It is not suitable for every type of pain, and treatment outcomes vary according to the underlying condition and individual response.
