Product Introduction: Gabapentin is a medication primarily used to treat seizures and neuropathic pain (pain caused by damage to nerves). It was first introduced in the United States in 1993 under the brand name Neurontin.
Uses:
- Seizures: Gabapentin is approved for the treatment of partial seizures in adults and children over 3 years of age.
- Neuropathic Pain: It is commonly prescribed for neuropathic pain conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia (pain following shingles), and nerve pain associated with spinal cord injury.
- Off-label Uses: Gabapentin is also sometimes prescribed off-label for conditions such as anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and restless legs syndrome.
Benefits:
- Effective in reducing seizure frequency in patients with epilepsy.
- Provides relief from neuropathic pain, improving quality of life for those suffering from conditions like diabetic neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia.
- Can help manage certain types of chronic pain with fewer side effects than some other pain medications.

Less common but more severe side effects may include:
- Mood changes (such as depression or suicidal thoughts)

Safety Advice:
- Take gabapentin exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- Do not stop taking gabapentin suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms.
- Avoid alcohol while taking gabapentin, as it can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness and drowsiness.
- Inform your doctor about any other medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are taking, as gabapentin can interact with certain drugs.
Interaction with Drugs: Gabapentin may interact with other medications, including:
- Opioid pain relievers: Concurrent use with opioids may increase the risk of respiratory depression and sedation.
- CNS depressants: Combining gabapentin with other drugs that have central nervous system depressant effects, such as benzodiazepines or alcohol, can increase the risk of drowsiness and respiratory depression.
- Antacids: Some antacids can reduce the absorption of gabapentin, so it’s recommended to take gabapentin at least 2 hours after taking an antacid.
