About this product
Overview
GABAPIL 25mg capsules contain the active ingredient pregabalin, which is an anticonvulsant and neuropathic pain medication. Pregabalin is available in capsule form and is used to manage certain types of seizures and alleviate neuropathic pain.
Uses
GABAPIL 25mg capsules are primarily prescribed for the following purposes:
- Epilepsy: Pregabalin is used as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in individuals with epilepsy. It helps reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.
- Neuropathic Pain: GABAPIL 25mg capsules are also indicated for the management of neuropathic pain caused by conditions such as diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to diabetes), postherpetic neuralgia (pain following shingles), and fibromyalgia.
Side Effects
While GABAPIL 25mg capsules can be effective in managing seizures and neuropathic pain, they may also cause certain side effects. It’s important to note that not everyone will experience these side effects, and their severity can vary. Common side effects of pregabalin may include:
- Dizziness or drowsiness
- Fatigue or tiredness
- Peripheral edema (swelling of the hands, legs, or feet)
- Weight gain
- Blurred vision or double vision
- Dry mouth
- Difficulty concentrating
- Tremors or unsteadiness

If you experience any persistent or severe side effects while taking GABAPIL 25mg capsules, it is important to inform your healthcare provider.

- Allergy: If you have a known allergy to pregabalin or any components of GABAPIL 25mg capsules, you should avoid using this medication.
- Kidney Problems: Pregabalin is primarily eliminated from the body through the kidneys. Individuals with severe kidney impairment may require dosage adjustments or should avoid using GABAPIL 25mg capsules.
- Drug Interactions: Pregabalin may interact with certain medications, including opioids and sedatives. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking to ensure safe and effective use of GABAPIL 25mg capsules.
