Progaba 300 mg Tablet

Progaba 300 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 300 mg of gabapentin in each tablet. It belongs to the anti-convulsant class and is used to help control certain types of seizures and to relieve nerve pain. Progaba 300 mg Tablet may also be prescribed for other gabapentin-approved uses when a clinician decides it is appropriate.

How it works: Gabapentin works by calming overactive nerve signals in the brain and nerves, which can help reduce seizures and nerve pain. This tablet form delivers 300 mg in a single dose, making it easier to reach a prescribed treatment plan when a higher strength is needed.

Progaba 300 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet than Progaba 100 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a prescriber wants a larger dose in fewer tablets. It is meant for people whose dose has already been assessed by a doctor, since gabapentin is often started lower and adjusted gradually to limit sleepiness, dizziness, and unsteadiness.

• Adjunct treatment for partial-onset seizures
• Nerve pain (neuropathic pain)
• Postherpetic neuralgia
• Other doctor-directed gabapentin uses

• Swallow Progaba 300 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it at the same times each day to keep a steady level in your body.
• You can take it with or without food; taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is safe to do so.
• If you also use an antacid containing aluminum or magnesium, separate it from Progaba 300 mg Tablet by at least 2 hours.
• Do not stop taking it suddenly without medical advice, because that can raise seizure risk.

Each Progaba 300 mg Tablet provides 300 mg of gabapentin, so the total daily amount depends on how many tablets your doctor prescribes. Some patients take it 3 times a day, but the exact schedule and maximum daily dose are set by the prescriber based on the condition being treated, kidney function, and response. This strength is not a one-size-fits-all starting dose.

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