TILLOMED GABAPENTIN 300MG TABS X100

Uses of Tillomed Gabapentin 300mg Tablets

Tillomed Gabapentin 300mg Tablets are primarily used to manage epilepsy and neuropathic pain.

Epilepsy: Gabapentin is often prescribed as an adjunctive treatment for partial seizures in adults and children over 12 years old. It helps in controlling seizures when used in combination with other antiepileptic drugs.
Neuropathic Pain: Gabapentin is also effective in treating neuropathic pain, a type of chronic pain caused by nerve damage. This pain can result from conditions such as diabetes (diabetic neuropathy), shingles (postherpetic neuralgia), or spinal cord injuries.

Each Tillomed Gabapentin 300mg Tablet contains 300mg of the active ingredient gabapentin. The tablets also contain several inactive ingredients, including Lactose monohydrate, Maize starch, Talc, Gelatin, Titanium dioxide (E171), and Yellow iron oxide (E172)

How Tillomed Gabapentin works.

Gabapentin works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain. Although the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, it is believed that gabapentin binds to a specific subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This action reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters that can cause seizures or pain. By modulating the activity of these neurotransmitters, gabapentin helps to stabilize electrical activity in the brain and alleviate neuropathic pain.
