Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant medication commonly used to treat nerve pain, seizures, and conditions like postherpetic neuralgia or neuropathy. It works by calming nerve activity in the brain, helping reduce pain and prevent seizures. The dosage of Gabapentin varies based on individual medical needs and should always be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Do not stop the medication suddenly, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, and coordination issues. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for safe use and effective pain or seizure management with Gabapentin.
