• Patients who require concomitant treatment with opioids can experience increases in Gabapentin concentrations. Patients should be carefully observed for signs of central nervous system (CNS) depression, such as somnolence, sedation and respiratory depression and the dose of Gabapentin Capsules or opioid should be reduced appropriately.
• Generic Neurontin (Gabantin capsules) is generally not considered effective in the treatment of absence seizures and mayexacerbate these seizures in some patients. Consequently, Gabapentin capsules should be used with caution in patients who have mixed seizure disorders that include absence seizures.
• Severe, life-threatening, systemic hypersensitivity reactions such as drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) have been reported in some patients taking antiepilepetic drugs including Gabapentin Capsules.
• If you are on haemodialysis (to remove waste products because of kidney failure), inform your doctor if you develop muscle pain and/or weakness
• In case you suffer from kidney problems your doctor may prescribe a different dosing schedule

• Antiepileptic drugs (AED) such as Gabantin (Gabapentin Capsules) increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviour in a small number of patients taking these medications for any indication.

Gabapentin During Pregnancy

Gabapentin has been classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category C.
In nonclinical studies conducted in mice, rats, and rabbits, Gabapentin was developmentally toxic when administered to pregnant animals at doses similar to or lower than those used clinically. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies conducted in pregnant women. Gabapentin should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Stop using this medication and inform your doctor immediately in case you become pregnant during treatment. Therefore you must inform your physician if you are pregnant, or if you are planning to become pregnant, or if you become pregnant while you are taking Gabapentin capsules.
