About this item
Biopentin belongs to a class of medicines known as anticonvulsants or antiepileptics. Despite its name, Gabapentin does not act directly on GABA receptors; instead, it binds to specific subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This action reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters that cause nerves to overfire, effectively "calming" the nerves that send pain signals to the brain.
Dosage of Biopentin 300mgThis is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM).
Take exactly as directed by your physician. Dosage is usually started low and increased gradually ("titrated") to minimize side effects.
- Typical Starting Dose: One 300mg tablet once on the first day, twice on the second day, and three times on the third day.
- Maintenance: Usually 900mg to 1800mg daily, divided into three doses.
Proper Administration
- Timing: To maintain consistent levels, doses should be spaced evenly. If taken three times a day, the interval between doses should not exceed 12 hours.
- Method: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food.
- Missed Dose: Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Never double the dose.
How to Store and Dispose of Biopentin 300mg
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Keep the tablets in their original blister pack to protect from moisture.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return any unused or expired medication to a pharmacy for safe disposal.
Quick Tips for Biopentin 300mg
- Consistency is Key: Do not stop taking Biopentin suddenly, even if you feel better. Abruptly stopping can trigger "rebound" seizures or intense withdrawal symptoms.
- Antacid Interaction: If you take antacids containing aluminum or magnesium (like Gaviscon or Maalox), wait at least 2 hours before taking your Biopentin dose.
- Drowsiness: This medication may cause significant dizziness or sleepiness during the first few weeks. Avoid driving until you know how it affects you.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Biopentin 300mg
- Known Allergy: Do NOT use if you are allergic to Gabapentin or any other ingredients in the tablet.
- Pancreatitis: Use with caution if you have a history of acute pancreatitis.
Side Effects of Biopentin 300mg
- Common: Dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, and "ataxia" (feeling uncoordinated or shaky).
- Less Common: Viral infections, fever, nausea, or swelling of the legs (edema).
- Serious: Mood changes, unusual bruising, or severe skin rashes.
- Action: If you notice new or worsening depression, suicidal thoughts, or an allergic reaction (swelling of the face/tongue), seek medical help immediately.
Precautions and Warnings
- Kidney Health: Because Gabapentin is cleared by the kidneys, dose adjustments are mandatory for patients with renal impairment.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol while taking Biopentin, as it can dangerously increase the sedative and dizzying effects.
- Elderly Patients: Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects, particularly confusion and loss of balance.
- Pack Size: Usually 30 or 50 tablets per pack.
- Form: Oral Tablet.
- Active Ingredient: Gabapentin 300mg.
