Gabapentin Is Used To Release The Pain Of Postherpetic Neuralgia
Product Description:
Gabapentin capsule, tablets and solution are used to control certain types of seizures in people who have epilepsy, since it is an anti-epileptic medicine. It is also used to relieve the pain of postherpetic neuralgia (including the burning, stabbing pain or aches that may last for months or years after an attack of shingles). Gabapentin extended-release tablets are used to treat restless legs syndrome. Gabapentin treats seizures by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Gabapentin is also sometimes used to relieve the pain of diabetic neuropathy, and to treat and prevent hot flashes in women who are being treated for breast cancer or who have experienced menopause (''change of life'', the end of monthly menstrual periods).
