Gabapin ME 100 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Gabapentin (100 mg): As an anticonvulsant medication, it works by binding to specific proteins in your nerves called α2δ subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels. This action regulates the flow of calcium into the nerve cells, leading to reduced release of pain-transmitting chemicals in the brain. The outcome is a decrease in nerve excitement and pain signal transmission.

• Methylcobalamin (500 mcg): This active form of vitamin B12 aids in the creation of myelin, which is like a protective shield around nerve fibres. By boosting myelin formation and promoting nerve regeneration, methylcobalamin assists in restoring normal nerve function, thus reducing neuropathic pain.
