Gabapil 50mg is used for:

• Neuropathic (nerve) pain, including diabetic nerve pain and pain after shingles
• Fibromyalgia
• Partial-onset seizures, as add-on therapy with other epilepsy medicines
• Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)

Dosage

Doctors usually start pregabalin at a low dose (such as 75 mg twice daily) and increase it over one to two weeks. The usual range is 150–600 mg per day, divided into two or three doses, and the maximum is 600 mg per day. Your doctor will lower the dose if you have kidney problems.

How to Use

Swallow the capsule whole with water, with or without food. Take it at the same times each day. Do not stop suddenly; your doctor will reduce the dose gradually over at least one week.

Missed Dose

Take the missed dose when you remember. If the next dose is due soon, skip the missed one. Do not take a double dose.

Overdose

An overdose can cause severe drowsiness, confusion, agitation, restlessness or seizures. Get emergency medical help straight away.

When Not to Use

• Allergy to pregabalin or any ingredient
• Previous swelling of the face, lips or throat (angioedema) after pregabalin

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Dizziness and drowsiness
• Blurred vision
• Dry mouth and constipation
• Weight gain and increased appetite
• Swelling of the hands or feet
• Difficulty concentrating

Stop and seek urgent help for swelling of the face or throat, breathing difficulty, or a serious skin reaction.

Precautions & Warnings

• Can cause dizziness and sleepiness; do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you
• Has a risk of misuse and dependence; take only the prescribed dose
• Stopping suddenly can cause trouble sleeping, headache, nausea, anxiety and sweating
• A small number of people on antiepileptic medicines develop low mood or suicidal thoughts; contact your doctor immediately if this happens
• Use with caution in kidney disease, heart failure and in the elderly

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregabalin should not be used during pregnancy unless your doctor decides it is clearly needed. It passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding is not recommended while taking it.

Drug Interactions

• Opioid painkillers, benzodiazepines and alcohol can increase drowsiness and slow breathing
• Pioglitazone may increase the risk of swelling and weight gain
• ACE inhibitors such as lisinopril may increase the risk of angioedema
