Product Details

Gabix 100 mg Capsule contains Gabapentin as its primary ingredient, designed to aid in managing neuropathic pain. Gabapentin works by interacting with specific receptors in the brain, including those in the neocortex and hippocampus. Although the exact mechanism behind its effects is not fully understood, it is believed that Gabapentin’s action involves binding to certain peptide receptors, contributing to its CNS depressant and anticonvulsant properties.

Purposes

Gabix 100 mg Capsule is used for treating various types of neuropathic pain in adults. It is also employed as an adjunctive therapy in the management of partial seizures, with or without secondary generalization, in patients over 12 years old who suffer from epilepsy. Gabix can help alleviate discomfort and improve quality of life for those dealing with these conditions.

Warnings

Exercise caution when using Gabix 100 mg Capsule if you have a history of psychotic illness. It should not be used as a treatment for absence seizures and may potentially worsen such conditions in some individuals. Additionally, patients should avoid driving or operating complex machinery until they are familiar with how Gabix affects them, as it may impair cognitive and motor functions.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Capsule include dizziness and drowsiness. Less common effects may include dry mouth, peripheral edema, and weight gain. Rare side effects can include accidental injuries, confusion, and hypesthesia. If you experience any severe or unexpected reactions, consult your healthcare provider promptly.

Cautions

Do not abruptly discontinue Capsule, as this may increase seizure frequency. It is important to gradually taper off the medication under medical supervision if discontinuation is necessary. Always ensure that you discuss any potential side effects or concerns with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.
