Description

Abaglin 100mg Tablet is a prescription medication that contains Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant and anti-epileptic drug. It is primarily used to treat seizures in patients with epilepsy and can also be effective in managing neuropathic pain (nerve-related pain). In addition to its use in epilepsy and pain management, Gabapentin is also prescribed to help alleviate symptoms of restless legs syndrome and to reduce the frequency of partial seizures when combined with other anti-seizure medications. This medication is available in tablet form for easy oral administration.

Functions

Abaglin (Gabapentin) works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, preventing the abnormal nerve activity that causes seizures. It also helps reduce nerve pain by altering the way the brain responds to pain signals. Gabapentin is commonly prescribed in combination with other medications to control seizures, especially in cases where other treatments have been ineffective. It is also used for the relief of neuropathic pain, which is caused by nerve damage, providing relief from chronic pain conditions.

Precautions

Before starting treatment with Abaglin 100mg, patients should consult their healthcare provider, especially if they have any history of kidney disease, liver disease, or psychiatric conditions. Gabapentin dosage may need to be adjusted for those with kidney issues, as the medication is primarily excreted through the kidneys. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use this medication under strict medical supervision, as the safety of Gabapentin during pregnancy and lactation has not been conclusively established.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Abaglin 100mg may include dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, tremors, and loss of coordination. Some patients may experience more serious reactions such as mood changes, depression, or unusual thoughts. If you experience symptoms such as extreme sleepiness, trouble breathing, or swelling of the face or throat, seek immediate medical attention. These side effects are rare, but they may indicate a more serious problem.

Cautions

Patients using Abaglin should avoid alcohol as it may increase the risk of serious side effects such as dizziness and drowsiness. Caution should be exercised when driving or operating heavy machinery as Gabapentin can impair mental and physical abilities. If you experience severe dizziness or drowsiness, it is advised to refrain from activities that require full alertness. If you are undergoing kidney dialysis or have a history of psychotic illness, speak to your doctor before using this medication, as you may require special monitoring or dosage adjustments. Always follow the prescribed dosage and never stop or alter your medication without consulting your doctor.
