WHAT NEURONTIN IS USED FOR
NEURONTIN is used to treat epilepsy
(seizures that are initially limited to
certain parts of the brain, whether the
seizure spreads to other parts of the
brain or not) and peripheral
neuropathic pain (long lasting pain
caused by damage to the nerves).
HOW NEURONTIN WORKS
NEURONTIN belongs to a group of
medicines used to treat epilepsy and
peripheral neuropathic pain (long
lasting pain caused by damage to the
nerves).
BEFORE YOU USE NEURONTIN
_- When you must not use it _
Do not take NEURONTIN:
- If you are allergic (hypersensitive)
to gabapentin or any of the other
ingredients of NEURONTIN
_Pregnancy and lactation _
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or
intend to become pregnant.
NEURONTIN should not be taken
during pregnancy, unless you are told
otherwise by your doctor. Effective
contraception must be used by women
of child-bearing potential.
Contact your doctor immediately if
you become pregnant, think you might
be pregnant or are planning to become
pregnant while taking NEURONTIN.
Do not suddenly discontinue taking
this medicine as this may lead to a
breakthrough seizure, which could
have serious consequences for you and
your baby.
Gabapentin, the active substance of
NEURONTIN, is passed through
human milk. As the effect on the baby
is unknown, caution should be
exercised when gabapentin is
administered to a nursing mother.
Gabapentin should be used in nursing
mothers only if the benefits clearly
outweigh the risks.
