Gabapax 100 Tablet

Gabapax 100 Tablet is a gabapentin medicine in tablet form, with 100 mg of gabapentin in each tablet. It belongs to the anti-convulsant class and is used to help control certain seizure disorders and to relieve nerve pain. Gabapax 100 Tablet may also be prescribed for other doctor-approved uses involving nerve-related pain.

How it works: Gabapentin calms overactive nerve signals in the brain and nervous system, which helps reduce seizures and nerve pain. As a tablet, Gabapax 100 Tablet is swallowed whole so the medicine can be absorbed and released into your body after you take it.

Gabapax 100 Tablet is a lower-strength option compared with Gabapax 300 Tablet, which can make it easier for a doctor to build the dose gradually. This 100 mg tablet may be chosen for people who need a smaller starting amount, a more careful dose adjustment, or less sedation at the beginning of treatment.

• Partial seizures
• Nerve pain
• Post-herpetic neuralgia
• Adjunct treatment for epilepsy
• Doctor-directed nerve-related pain conditions

• Swallow Gabapax 100 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is okay.
• Take it exactly on the schedule your doctor gives you, because gabapentin doses are often adjusted step by step.
• It can be taken with or without food, but taking it the same way each day may help you remember.
• If you also use an antacid that contains aluminum or magnesium, separate it from Gabapax 100 Tablet by at least 2 hours.
• Do not stop taking this tablet suddenly, because abrupt discontinuation can increase seizure risk or worsen symptoms.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Gabapax 100 Tablet provides 100 mg of gabapentin. Depending on why it is prescribed, it may be taken once daily or in divided doses several times a day, but the exact schedule and total daily amount are set by the doctor. The daily maximum varies by condition and patient response, so do not change the dose on your own.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
