How it Works:

FAQs:

• What is Gabaliv-M Capsule?
  Gabaliv-M Capsule is a combination medication containing Gabapentin and Methylcobalamin. It is used to treat pain caused by nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy). This medication works by promoting the growth of new nerve cells and reducing the sensation of pain in the body.


• What is peripheral neuropathy?
  Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage or disease affecting one or more nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. These nerves, which are located in various parts of the body such as the toes and fingertips, carry vital messages between the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and other areas of the body. When these nerves are damaged, they may stop functioning properly, disrupting normal communication between the central and peripheral nervous systems.


• Can I stop taking Gabaliv-M Capsule when my pain is relieved?
  No, it is essential to complete the full prescribed treatment course for Gabaliv-M Capsule. Your symptoms may improve before your nerves are fully regenerated and healed.


• Can the use of Gabaliv-M Capsule cause sleepiness?
  Yes, drowsiness is a common side effect associated with Gabaliv-M Capsule. To minimize risks, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery, and refrain from consuming alcohol while taking this medication, as it may lead to severe sleepiness and increase the likelihood of falls or accidents.
