It is used with other medications to prevent and control seizures. It also relieves nerve pain following shingles (a painful rash due to herpes zoster infection).
Neuropathic Pain: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), peripheral diabetic neuropathies, and trigeminal neuralgia in adults.
Special Precautions
Again, if a patient develops acute pancreatitis under treatment, stoping the medicine should be an option to consider.
Abrupt withdrawal of anticonvulsant agents in epileptic patients may precipitate status epilepticus. Therefore, like other similar medicinal products, seizure frequency increases or the onset of new seizures with gabapentin.
Gabapentin should not be considered a treatment of absence seizures. It may exacerbate these seizures in some patients. Consequently, one should use gabapentin with caution in patients with mixed seizure disorders, including absence seizures.
Effects on the Ability to Drive or Operate Machinery: In conclusion, patients should neither drive a car nor operate complex machinery until they have gained sufficient experience on gabapentin.
