How it works
P-Cob GP 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 P-Cob GP Tablet?

Yes, drowsiness is a common side effect of P-Cob GP Tablet. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you understand the full effects of this medication on your alertness.
