Arigaba 100 Tablet

Arigaba 100 Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains gabapentin 100 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the anticonvulsant class and is used to help control certain seizure disorders and to treat nerve pain, depending on your doctor’s diagnosis. Arigaba 100 Tablet may also be chosen when a lower-strength gabapentin tablet is needed for gradual dose adjustment.

How it works: Gabapentin works by calming overactive nerves in the brain and nervous system, which can help reduce seizure activity and nerve pain signals. As an oral tablet, Arigaba 100 Tablet is swallowed whole so the medicine can be absorbed and start working through the bloodstream.

Arigaba 100 Tablet is a low-strength gabapentin tablet, which can be useful when a doctor wants to start treatment carefully or fine-tune the dose in smaller steps. Because it is the 100 mg tablet, it is generally suited for people who need a smaller amount per dose rather than a higher-strength tablet, and it may be easier to adjust than stronger tablets.
