About Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's

Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's 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.

Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's 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, Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's 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, Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's 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 Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's. Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's should not be given to children under three years as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Gabafame-150 Tablet 10's as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness.
