How it works
Gabty Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Gabapentin and Methylcobalamin. Gabapentin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B which helps in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

Frequently asked questions
What is Gabty Tablet?
Gabty Tablet contains two active ingredients: Gabapentin and Methylcobalamin. This medication is used to treat pain caused by nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy). It works by regenerating damaged nerves in the body and reducing pain signals.
What is peripheral neuropathy?
Peripheral nerves, which are found in your extremities like toes and fingers, carry messages to and from your brain and spinal cord. Damage to these nerves can result in peripheral neuropathy. These nerves become dysfunctional when damaged, disrupting the communication between your central nervous system and the rest of your body.
Can I stop taking Gabty Tablet once my pain is relieved?
No, you should continue taking Gabty Tablet as prescribed by your doctor for the full duration. Even if your symptoms improve before the nerves are fully regenerated, completing the medication course ensures optimal treatment.
Can Gabty Tablet cause sleepiness?
Yes, sleepiness is a common side effect of Gabty Tablet. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you are aware of how the medication affects your alertness. It's also important not to consume alcohol while taking Gabty Tablet, as it can lead to severe sleepiness and increase the risk of falls or accidents.
