Product Introduction

Acegaba 100mg Capsule contains the active substance Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant belonging to the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analog class. Gabapentin is indicated for neuropathic pain, anxiety disorders, and seizures in patients with epilepsy.

Acegaba 100mg Capsule treats neuropathic pain, including postherpetic neuralgia, nerve pain following shingles infection, and other forms of nerve pain. It serves as an adjunctive treatment for partial-onset seizures, with or without secondary generalisation, in adults and children aged 3 years and older. Acegaba 100mg Capsule also helps manage anxiety disorders as part of a broader treatment plan.

Before using Acegaba 100mg Capsule, consult your doctor if you have allergies to Gabapentin or any ingredients in the capsule, or if you have kidney problems, lung inflammation, or neuropsychiatric conditions. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience dizziness, swelling, unexplained fatigue, coordination issues, or vision problems.

Acegaba 100mg Capsule may cause serious side effects, including difficulty breathing, severe skin reactions, or signs of infection such as fever, unusual bleeding, or bruising. Do not stop taking Acegaba 100mg Capsule suddenly, as this may increase seizure frequency in patients with epilepsy. Healthcare providers should monitor patients for any signs of suicidal thoughts or behaviours, particularly at the start of treatment.

Acegaba 100mg Capsule may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Patients should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until they understand how the medication affects them.
