Product Information
Better health begins with the right choices.
Description
Gabapentin is a medication used to manage nerve pain and fibromyalgia under medical supervision. It is also prescribed for partial seizures in epilepsy but is widely prescribed for its ability to calm nerve signals that cause chronic pain. Gabapentin affects chemicals and nerves in the body that contribute to the sensation of pain, especially when it originates from nerve damage or dysfunction.
Gabapentin has shown effectiveness in treating conditions such as diabetic nerve pain, postherpetic neuralgia following shingles, and widespread pain related to fibromyalgia. It is not an opioid and does not work in the same way as traditional painkillers. Instead, it helps reduce the sensitivity of the nervous system to pain signals over time.
The medication is taken by mouth, typically in the form of tablets or capsules, and the dose is gradually increased to minimise side effects while achieving the desired pain control. Gabapentin is generally well tolerated, although some users experience dizziness, tiredness, or mild confusion during the initial phase of treatment. These symptoms usually lessen as the body adjusts.
Gabapentin may offer significant relief to individuals dealing with persistent nerve-related discomfort and is often part of a broader treatment plan that may include physical therapy or lifestyle adjustments.
