Neurontin is a prescription medicine containing gabapentin as the active ingredient. It belongs to the group of anticonvulsants and is used under medical supervision for epilepsy and for certain types of persistent neuropathic pain. This listing is for a box of 90 film-coated tablets, 600 mg each, manufactured for the French market by Viatris.
Gabapentin is indicated, under medical supervision, for the treatment of partial epileptic seizures (as add-on therapy when standard treatment is not sufficient) and for peripheral neuropathic pain, such as painful diabetic neuropathy and post-herpetic neuralgia. It does not treat the underlying cause of the pain and is not a painkiller for everyday aches.
Neurontin is taken by mouth, with or without food, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose is set individually and increased gradually; treatment must never be started, stopped or changed in dose on your own, because stopping abruptly can trigger seizures.
Common effects include drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, tremor, unsteadiness, blurred vision, nausea and weight gain. Less common but serious effects include severe skin reactions, mood changes, suicidal thoughts and signs of angioedema (swelling of the face or throat). Seek medical help immediately if any of these occur.
Tell your doctor about kidney problems, as the dose may need adjustment. Gabapentin may increase the effects of alcohol, opioids and other sedatives. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how the medicine affects you. Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.
Store below 25 °C, in the original packaging, protected from moisture and out of the reach of children. Keep the blister strips in the outer carton.
