About Gabaprotek Capsule

Gabaprotek Capsule is used to treat nerve pain/damage, such as post-herpetic neuralgia. Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition of the nerves that occurs due to nerve damage or other neurological conditions like neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia or shingles.

Gabaprotek Capsule contains Gabapentin and Methylcobalamin. Gabapentin calms overactive nerves and interferes with pain signals travelling through the brain and spine. Methylcobalamin rejuvenates and protects damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin.

Sometimes, Gabaprotek Capsule may cause common side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Let your doctor know if you are using any prescription, non-prescription drugs, and herbal products before starting Gabaprotek Capsule. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking Gabaprotek Capsule.
