About Gabalan-M 300 mg Tablet 10's

Gabalan-M 300 mg Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medicines called 'anticonvulsants' used to treat partial seizures (epilepsy) and various conditions of nerve pain/damage like post-herpetic neuralgia and restless leg syndrome in adults and children above 3 years of age. Epilepsy is a neurological condition in which the brain's activity becomes abnormal with seizure episodes, sometimes losing awareness or consciousness. Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition of the nerves that occurs due to nerve damage or other neurological conditions like neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia or shingles.

Gabalan-M 300 mg Tablet 10's is a combination of two medicines: Gabapentin (anti-convulsant), Mecobalamin (vitamin B12). Gabapentin treats seizures by balancing a chemical messenger in the brain called a neurotransmitter, thereby decreasing its abnormal excitement in the brain. Mecobalamin is a Vitamin B12 that helps rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Together, Gabalan-M 300 mg Tablet 10's helps provide relief from neuropathic pain caused due to nerve damage and other neurological disorders.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Neuropathic pain: It is a nervous system disorder caused due to damage to sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain is not triggered by an injury, the body unpromptedly sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).
