Uses / Indications:
Gabacip M Tablet is given for:
Diabetes, shingles, or a spinal injury can cause neuropathic pain (nerve pain).
Peripheral neuropathy due to a lack of vitamin B12.
Post-herpetic neuralgia (pain that comes after shingles).
Hands and feet may feel numb, tingle, or burn.
Adjunct therapy for partial seizures (where a neurologist says it's okay).
Pregnancy interaction:
Gabacip M Tablet should only be used while pregnant if a doctor is watching over you.
Gabapentin: Studies on animals show that it could be harmful to fetuses, but there isn't much data on humans.
Vitamin B12, also known as methylcobalamin, is usually safe to take during pregnancy and is typically used to help keep nerves healthy.
Overall: Only use if the possible benefit is greater than the risk to the fetus. Always talk to your doctor before using it while pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
Breastfeeding: Both components go into breast milk in modest levels. Gabapentin could make the baby sleepy. Only use if your doctor tells you to.

How it works:
Gabacip M Tablet has two active components that work together to ease nerve pain and help nerves heal.
Gabapentin is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analog that:
Decreases strange nerve activity.
Regulates pain signals that injured neurons send.
Vitamin B12, also known as methylcobalamin, is an important vitamin that
Aids in the healing and regeneration of nerves.
Encourages the production of myelin sheath, which protects nerves and restores proper nerve function.
Together, they make nerve pain less bad and nerve health better.

Medicine interaction:
Stay away from or use with care:
Drinking alcohol can make you more sleepy and dizzy.
CNS depressants (such opioids, sleeping pills, and anxiety medications) might make sedation or breathing problems worse.
Antacids (those that have aluminum or magnesium in them) make it harder for Gabapentin to be absorbed. Take Gabacip M two hours after taking antacids.
Morphine can raise the amount of Gabapentin in the blood.
Avoid taking more than one vitamin B supplement unless your doctor tells you to.
Always tell your doctor about any drugs, supplements, or herbal products you are using.
