Neurontin

Neurontin (gabapentin) is a medication primarily used to treat nerve-related conditions such as epilepsy and nerve pain. It works by stabilizing electrical activity in the nerves, helping to reduce abnormal nerve signals that can cause seizures and pain. It is often prescribed for conditions like diabetic nerve pain and shingles-related nerve pain. While effective, it may cause side effects like dizziness or fatigue. Neurontin is usually taken orally and requires a doctor’s guidance for appropriate dosing and management, as it’s important to use it safely and effectively for the condition being treated.
