Gabapentin 600mg

Gabapentin 600mg – Nerve Pain & Epilepsy Relief | Generic Neurontin®

Gabapentin 600mg is a widely prescribed anticonvulsant and nerve pain medication used for treating neuropathic pain, partial seizures, and postherpetic neuralgia (shingles pain). It helps calm overactive nerve signals by regulating calcium channels in the nervous system — without acting directly on GABA receptors.

This mid-strength dosage is ideal for patients needing moderate symptom control and is often used as part of a titration schedule for epilepsy or chronic nerve conditions.

Initially marketed as Neurontin® by Pfizer, Gabapentin is now available as a cost-effective generic alternative manufactured by trusted global pharma companies.
