Pentiga 100 mg Capsule is used to treat nerve pain and epilepsy (seizures). It also helps with fibromyalgia and restless legs syndrome (an urge to move the legs due to discomfort). Nerve pain happens when the nerves are damaged or irritated. Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes repeated seizures due to abnormal brain activity.

Pentiga 100 mg Capsule contains gabapentin, which works by calming overactive nerves in the body. It does this by attaching to certain channels in nerve cells, helping to reduce nerve pain and lower the chance of seizures.

Pentiga 100 mg Capsule may cause common side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, nausea, vomiting, fever, swelling, or problems with balance or coordination (ataxia). Most of these side effects go away on their own. However, if they persist for a long time, consult your doctor.
