What is GABIX?

GABIX contains Gabapentin, a medication primarily used to treat various types of nerve pain and to help control certain types of seizures. It works by altering the way the body senses pain and stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. It is highly regarded for treating “pins and needles” sensations and burning pain caused by nerve damage.

Uses

GABIX is clinically indicated for:

• Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN): Relieving the persistent nerve pain that follows a shingles outbreak.

• Neuropathic Pain: Managing pain from nerve damage caused by diabetes or injury.

• Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): Reducing the urge to move legs, especially at night.

• Partial Seizures: Used alongside other medications to treat epilepsy.

Common Side Effects

• Drowsiness or dizziness

• Unsteadiness or loss of coordination

• Viral infections (common in pediatric patients)

• Fatigue or mild tremors

Precautions

• Taper Your Dose: Never stop taking GABIX abruptly, as this can trigger seizures or withdrawal symptoms. Always consult your doctor for a tapering schedule.

• Timing: If taking antacids (like Maalox or Mylanta), wait at least 2 hours before taking GABIX to ensure full absorption.

• Mental Health Awareness: Watch for any sudden changes in mood, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts, especially when starting the medication.

• Kidney Health: Inform your doctor if you have kidney issues, as the dosage may need to be lowered.
