#learnwithnyrah Gabapentin is a class 3 medication which is often used to treat epilepsy. It's also taken for nerve pain, which can be caused by different conditions, including diabetes and shingles. Nerve pain can also happen after an injury. With nerve pain, it's thought to block pain by affecting the pain messages travelling through the brain and down the spine. You'll usually take gabapentin 3 times a day. You can take it with or without food. #pharmacist #pharmacology #medicine #gabapentin #painkillers #sciatica #nervepain #epilepsy #nursestudent #pharmacystudent #medicineexplained #fyp
