Gabapentin

What is Gabapentin?

This medication is a first-line oral treatment for neuropathic pain (pain caused because of nerve damage). The treatment contains gabapentin as the active ingredient, which is also the generic name of the medicine. The branded version, made by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, is known under the trade name Neurontin.

The generic version became available after the patent, held by Pfizer, expired. This led to generic manufacturers gaining permission to produce and sell cheaper versions of the original medication, and the subsequent worldwide exportation of these cost-effective generic equivalents, to be sold online at significantly cheaper prices. Despite their affordability, the generic forms are equally as safe and effective as the original medication. If you require this medication, you can now buy gabapentin UK online through our registered pharmacy.

How Gabapentin UK Works

Classed as an anticonvulsant, this medicine is chemically formulated to resemble (and is derived from) the main neurotransmitter of the central nervous system (CNS). This neurotransmitter is called GABA (or gamma-aminobutyric acid). Because of its derivation from the chief neurotransmitter of the CNS, the treatment is appropriately named after GABA.

The main role of GABA, being a chemical messenger, is to inhibit the transmission of brain signals from the CNS throughout the body. In layman’s terms, GABA works by inhibiting (or stopping) impulses between nerve cells in the brain that control excitement or irritation, to create a sense of calm and relaxation. Gabapentin 300 mg is a medication that is designed to mimic the effects of GABA.

As it is an analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid, it works to enhance the inhibitory effects of the neurotransmitter, to block pain signals. In addition, this also promotes a sense of calm for those experiencing mental disorders, as you can also use gabapentin for anxiety.  Unlike other medications (such as benzodiazepines) that also affect GABA, this medication does not bind to the GABA receptors. Instead, these treatments enhance the effects of the GABA neurotransmitter by blocking certain calcium channels found in the membranes of cells.

Gabapentin Dosage Available

Knowing how much of the active ingredient to take will not only ensure you receive the most out of your treatment, but will also reduce the likelihood of side effects. The dose of this medication you are advised to take will also depend on the disorder/ condition you are treating (there are several gabapentin uses, from pain to anxiety).

In general, one gabapentin 300 mg UK tablet is the standard dose, however, you can follow the dosing guidelines as listed below for a more specific guide:

• Gabapentin dosage for pain: for neuralgia (another term for nerve pain), treatment should be started at 300 mg per day. This can be increased depending on the severity of your condition, but the maximum daily dose of this medication is 3600 mg (three evenly spaced dosages of up to 1200 mg per day). However, this is dependent on varying factors unique to you and your condition.
• Gabapentin dosage for anxiety: generalized anxiety disorder (or GAD) can be treated with dosages ranging from 300 mg to 900 mg, but this is also dependent on your health and your condition. Mild cases of GAD can be relieved with lower dosages, while the more severe symptoms can be treated with higher-strength forms.
• Gabapentin dosage for sciatica: sciatica is also a form of nerve pain (pain that runs along the sciatic nerve), which can be treated with an initial dose of 300 mg of the active ingredient. The most you should use within a day is 1,800 mg: according to experts.

The gabapentin dosage recommended to you is determined by certain aspects, such as your age, the form of medication you are using (tablets, oral solution etc.), the severity of your condition, your health and so on. These can be discussed with our online consultants when determining the dosage that you should take. Those with mild kidney or liver problems, should take a reduced dosage, as this medication is processed and excreted through these organs, and may over time cause them damage if taken in a high dosage.

How to Take Gabapentin

How you take this medication depends on the form you are using. The conventional hard tablets and capsules are taken by mouth which simply involves swallowing the pill with a drink of water. The oral solution is used similarly, by drinking the liquid with a full glass of water. The tablets and capsules should be swallowed whole as it is important to not chew or crush the medication. This can affect the functioning of the medicine and release the active ingredient incorrectly (especially important in the case of the extended-release forms, discussed below).

The painkiller can be taken with or without food, depending on your preference, however, you may wish to take them after a light snack at least, to reduce the likelihood of side effects. You should also try as much as possible to evenly space out each administration for the day. This will help keep a consistent amount of the active ingredient in your body throughout the 24-hour period.

If you are regularly taking 300 mg gabapentin tablets and forget to take a dose, do not use another pill to make up for the missed one. Rather, skip the missed dosage and resume with your normal treatment schedule the following day.

How Long Gabapentin Lasts

The duration of action of gabapentin ranges from five to seven hours. It is different for each patient because there are certain factors, unique to you, that influence how long the active ingredient remains effective in your body.  These factors include:

• Your age
• Your gender
• The nature of your condition
• The form you are using

The 300 mg gabapentin tablets (and the higher-strength forms as well) are formulated as both immediate-release and extended-release medication. The immediate-release form is fast-acting and releases the active ingredient rapidly after its administration, however, the effects do not last as long as the extended release. The extended-release form is developed to provide a small amount of the active ingredient over a specified amount of time. The effects of the extended-release painkillers last longer, as the active ingredient is incrementally released in the body.

Is Gabapentin Safe?

Yes, gabapentin UK is a safe, MHRA-approved medication. The active ingredient was originally approved for medical use over two decades ago, when it was approved for use by the FDA, in 2004. Following this, the MHRA approved gabapentin brand name medication for medical use.

The treatment is highly safe if you use the medicine for its intended purposes. The medication is indicated for several uses, including pain, anxiety, and epilepsy. When using the treatment for recreational purposes, you run the risk of experiencing side effects and other health complications. Also, taking dosages greater than those recommended to you (as well as using the medication for longer durations than you are prescribed) can lead to dependence or tolerance. This can result in gabapentin withdrawal, which is often associated with symptoms of nausea, insomnia and so on.

Moreover, you should not use gabapentin and alcohol in conjunction as combined use can cause detrimental health issues. This includes severe breathlessness, which can be potentially dangerous. However, when you take gabapentin 300 mg as directed, the treatment is a highly effective and safe solution to many health conditions.

Gabapentin Side Effects

The secondary symptoms associated with this treatment are often described as mild and temporary, according to gabapentin reviews. They are most common when treatment begins as this is the time during which the body is becoming familiar with the active ingredient. Once this familiarization process has passed, the adverse effects often disappear.

• Constipation
• Diarrhoea
• Stomach upset

These treatments are bioequivalent (meaning they are identical as they have the same active ingredient), and therefore they produce the same side effects too.
