Gabapentin
antiepileptic
Nothing to addWhat this medicine is for
Gabapentin belongs to the 'antiepileptic' category. Antiepileptics stabilise the electrical activity of the brain to prevent seizures; they are taken regularly and are not stopped abruptly.
In the case of Gabapentin, this means: Treats epilepsy and, for some, neurological pain. It is most often a maintenance treatment, taken at regular times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on the day.

Generics and the original brand are equivalent for the active substance; only the appearance, the name or the excipients may differ.
Do you need a supplement? No.
For Gabapentin, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation is seriously justified as an addition to this treatment, and we would rather write that than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; outside of those, we do not sell for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five products.
