IMPORTANT NOTE: The following information is
intended to heighten awareness of health information

What
is Neurontin:
- Neurontin (gabapentin) belongs to the family of
medicines called antiepileptic drugs for treating
epilepsy.
- Neurontin has been prescribed for you by your doctor
to reduce your number of seizures or for treating
other related conditions considered appropriate by
your doctor.
Important Points You Must
Tell Your Doctor Before Taking Neurontin:
- Tell about all your medical conditions, especially
if you have any kidney disease.
- If you are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant,
or if you are breast-feeding.
- Any other medicines (prescription and nonprescription)
you are taking.
- Inform your doctor of your usual alcohol consumption.
How
to Take Neurontin:
- It is very important that you take Neurontin exactly
as your doctor has instructed.
- Never increase or decrease the amount of Neurontin
you are taking unless your doctor tells you to.
- Do not stop taking it abruptly because your seizures
may increase.
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible.
However, if it is within 4hourhours of your next dose
do not take the missed dose and return to your regular
dosing schedule. Do not allow more than 12 hours to
go by between doses. If that happens, consult your
doctor as soon as possible.
- Neurontin may be taken with or without food.
When Not to Use Neurontin:
- Do not use Neurontin if you are allergic to it or
any of the components in the formulation (see list
of components at the end of this leaflet).
Precautions
When Taking Neurontin:
- Call your doctor immediately if your seizures get
worse.
- Contact your doctor immediately if you experience
any severe, unusual or allergic reactions.
- When you first begin taking Neurontin you may experience
some side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and
fatigue. Consult your doctor if you experience any
of these, as the dose may have to be adjusted.
- If your epilepsy is not controlled, it is very
important not to perform any potentially hazardous
tasks, such as driving a car or operating dangerous
machines. If your epilepsy is controlled, it is important
to refrain from potentially dangerous tasks until
you are sure this medication does not affect your
mental alertness or physical coordination.
- Avoid alcoholic drinks while taking Neurontin.
What to Do in Case of Overdose:
- Contact your doctor or nearest hospital emergency
department, even though you may not feel sick.
How to Store Neurontin:
- Store capsules at room temperature (15 to 30°C)
and tablets at controlled room temperature (15 to
30°C).
- Keep out of reach of children.
