Gabica Capsule 75 mg
Gabica 75 mg is a prescription medicine primarily used to manage neuropathic pain and as a treatment for epilepsy. It helps relieve chronic nerve pain associated with conditions like diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, and post-herpetic neuralgia. Gabica contains Gabapentin, which works by altering nerve signaling in the brain to reduce pain perception and control seizures. It binds to the voltage-gated calcium channels in CNS tissues and reduces calcium influx.
