NEURONTIN - general information

   NEURONTIN, generically known as Gabapentin, is an anticonvulsant originally developed for the treatment of epilepsy. NEURONTIN affects chemicals and nerves in the body that are involved in the cause of seizures and some types of pain. It is widely prescribed for the treatment of seizures associated with epilepsy and other types of pain, especially neuropathic pain caused by herpes virus or shingles.

   Storage information:   Capsules and tablets should be stored at room temperature. The product should be kept away from heat and moisture in a place that cannot be reached by children.

Warnings

   Before taking NEURONTIN consult your physician if you have any kidney problems or are on hemodialysis, so that your physician could adjust your dosage of NEURONTIN. Inform your physician about any medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs. NEURONTIN may cause some people to become drowsy and less alert. Therefore, before driving or operating dangerous machinery or participating in any other activity that requires full mental alertness make sure that NEURONTIN does not have this effect on you.

   In children, NEURONTIN sometimes may cause behavioral problems such as unstable emotions, aggression, hyperactivity, and lack of concentration. However, if such problems occur they are usually mild.

   If you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant inform your doctor immediately. NEURONTIN may appear in breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. The medication should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
