Description

Gabapentin is a prescription medication that affects the nervous system. It is an anticonvulsant medication that is also used to manage certain types of nerve pain.

What is Gabapentin used for?

Gabapentin is FDA-approved for:

• Postherpetic neuralgia: nerve pain that may remain after shingles in adults.
• Partial-onset seizures: used as adjunctive therapy for certain seizures in adults and pediatric patients 3 years of age and older with epilepsy.

The appropriate dose depends on the patient's condition, age, kidney function, and response to treatment. Gabapentin should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

 Warnings and Precautions

• May cause drowsiness, dizziness, or impaired coordination. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
• Do not stop gabapentin suddenly, particularly in patients taking it for seizure control, because abrupt discontinuation may increase seizure frequency.
• Gabapentin may cause serious respiratory depression, especially when taken with opioids or other central nervous system depressants, or in people with underlying respiratory problems.
• Serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema, can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat or difficulty breathing develops.
