How it works
Mecospert-G 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).

Do not stop taking the medication suddenly without talking to your doctor. Rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down to lower the chances of feeling dizzy or passing out. Avoid consuming alcohol when taking Mecospert-G Tablet as it may cause excessive sleepiness.
