Overview
Neurontin 600mg Tablet contains gabapentin 600mg, an anticonvulsant medicine also widely used to treat peripheral neuropathic pain. It is used for conditions such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy and post-herpetic neuralgia (nerve pain following shingles), as well as an add-on treatment for certain types of seizures.
Gabapentin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system, reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters involved in pain signalling and abnormal electrical activity. This helps calm overactive nerve signalling that drives neuropathic pain and certain seizure types.
How it Works
Gabapentin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels on nerve endings in the brain and spinal cord, reducing calcium influx and, in turn, reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate. This dampens abnormal, overactive nerve signalling responsible for neuropathic pain and reduces the excessive electrical activity that contributes to seizures.
Directions for Use
Take Neurontin 600mg Tablet exactly as prescribed, with or without food, swallowing the tablet whole with a glass of water. If taking antacids, space your gabapentin dose at least 2 hours apart from them, as antacids can reduce gabapentin absorption. Do not stop this medicine suddenly – your doctor will guide a gradual dose reduction if treatment needs to be discontinued.
Dosage
The dose of Neurontin 600mg Tablet is individualised and usually started at a lower strength before being gradually increased by your doctor over days to weeks, based on your response and tolerability, often reaching a total daily dose taken in divided doses. Your doctor will determine the right starting dose, titration schedule, and maximum dose for your condition, particularly if you have reduced kidney function.
