Neurontin 400mg

Neurontin (Gabapentin) is an anticonvulsant medication which can be used for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy and other pain of neurological origin. This is a type of symptom where a person is dealing with numbness and tingling all the time which is the result of some nerve damage when they have diabetes. Controlling this symptom is a good way to ensure a better overall quality of life.

In order for Neurontin (Gabapentin) to be effective for someone with diabetes, they must take it daily. If they stop taking it they can experience withdrawal side effects. However, they will also experience the tingling and burning sensations again. This medicine won’t cure such symptoms but it can significantly reduce them. The dose will depend on the severity of that pain reported by the patient and assessed by the doctor. It may be necessary to take a dose more than once per day to be the most effective.

The use of Neurontin (Gabapentin) helps to block messages from the brain that tell the nerves pain is being experienced. As a result, a person can feel better and that goes a long way for them being able to be self sufficient.
