About Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet

Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet belongs to a class of 'anticonvulsants,' primarily used to treat partial seizures (epilepsy) and various conditions of nerve pain/damage like post-herpetic neuralgia. Epilepsy is a neurological condition in which the brain's activity becomes abnormal with seizures episodes, sometimes losing awareness or consciousness. Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition of the nerves that occurs due to nerve damage or other neurological conditions like neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia or shingles.

Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet consists of two drugs: Gabapentin (anticonvulsant) and Methylcobalamin (Mecobalamin or vitamin B12). Gabapentin treats seizures or fits by balancing chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) in the brain, furtherly reducing their abnormal excitement in the brain. Methylcobalamin is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12. It rejuvenates and protects damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. It also regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Together, Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet helps provide relief from neuropathic pain caused due to nerve damage and other neurological disorders.

Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet may have common side effects like dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects for a longer duration.

Let your doctor know if you are using any prescription, non-prescription drugs, and herbal products before starting Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet. Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet should not be given to children under three years as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Alme GB 300mg/500mg Tablet as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness.
