Gabapentin 600 mg Capsules are used to manage moderate to severe nerve pain and as adjunctive therapy for partial seizures in adults and children. Gabapentin is structurally related to GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), but it works by modulating calcium channels to reduce overactive nerve signals that contribute to neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and epileptic seizures. The 600 mg dosage is often used in patients requiring a higher strength to control symptoms effectively.

• Provides strong relief from neuropathic pain (e.g., diabetic nerve pain, postherpetic neuralgia)

• Used in combination with other medications for partial seizures

• May benefit those with restless leg syndrome (RLS) and fibromyalgia

• Can be used for migraine prevention and off-label anxiety
