Gapitas 100 Tablet 10 contains gabapentin (100 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Binding to Calcium Channels: Gabapentin binds to an auxiliary subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in your central nervous system.
• Reducing Neurotransmitter Release: By binding to these calcium channels, gabapentin reduces the influx of calcium into nerve terminals. This leads to a decrease in the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, which are substances involved in propagating seizures and transmitting pain signals.

• Keep the medicine protected from moisture.
• Avoid exposure to excess heat or direct sunlight.
• Always keep it out of reach of children.
