Gabarone


Pronunciation: GAB-a-PEN-tin
Generic Name: Gabapentin
Brand Name: Neurontin


Gabarone is used for:

Treating certain types of seizures associated with epilepsy when used along with other medicines. It may also be used for treating nerve pain associated with herpes zoster (shingles) infection (postherpetic neuralgia). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Gabarone is an anticonvulsant. Exactly how it works to prevent seizures and treat nerve pain is not known.


Do NOT use Gabarone if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Gabarone

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Gabarone:


Some medical conditions may interact with Gabarone. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have a history of kidney problems, including if you are on dialysis

  • if you have a history of mental or mood problems (eg, depression), or suicidal thoughts or actions

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Gabarone. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Morphine because it may increase the risk of Gabarone's side effects, including drowsiness

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Gabarone may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Gabarone:


Use Gabarone as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Gabarone comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Gabarone refilled.

  • Take Gabarone by mouth with or without food.

  • Do not take an antacid containing aluminum or magnesium within 2 hours before you take Gabarone.

  • If you are taking half of a scored tablet as your dose, take the other half of that tablet as your next dose. Throw away any half-tablets not used within several days of breaking a scored tablet.

  • Do not suddenly stop taking Gabarone. Patients taking Gabarone to prevent seizures may have an increased risk of seizures if the medicine is suddenly stopped. If you need to stop Gabarone or add a new medicine, your doctor will gradually lower your dose.

  • If you miss a dose of Gabarone, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Gabarone.



Important safety information:

11. DESCRIPTION


11.1.    GUNA®-HIP is a sterile solution made with isotonic sodium chloride solution.

It is a homeopathic complex medicine, whose active ingredients have been selected in order to promote 2 main activities:

•    Detoxification of the connective tissue matrix

•    Pain modulation through stimulation of the physiological mechanisms of pain control.

The attenuation of the biological substrates acts to target the area of activity of the product.




12. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY


12.1.    Mechanism of Action

Due to the homeopathic nature of the active ingredients, receptors may be activated by feedback regulation. Beta-endorphins at the 4C dose activate the membrane receptor for endogenous endorphins that play a key role in pain relief. Anti IL-1 induces a down regulation of IL-1 inflammatory activity.

12.2.    Pharmacodynamics

The physiological effects of GUNA®-HIP are due to the action of the ingredients as described in the Homeopathic Materia Medica.

In Homeopathy there is no direct relationship between dose and effect, but rather there is a relationship between attenuation and balancing effect on biochemical pathways.

In GUNA®-HIP the attenuation of each ingredient has been selected according to the Arndt-Schulz Principle (inverted effect law). Attenuation of the physiological ingredients promotes membrane receptor feedback in order to normalize altered biological pathways. In Addition the attenuation technique activates the low dilutions and stabilizes clinical activity of the compound.

12.3.    Pharmacokinetics

Homeopathic attenuation provides complete bioavailability of the active ingredients.



13. NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY


13.1.    GUNA®-HIP has no level of toxicity due to the attenuation of the ingredients.



14. CLINICAL STUDIES


14.1.    GUNA®-HIP formulation is based on classical Homeopathy and each ingredient has been selected according to its description in the Homeopathic Materia Medica. The product is intended for application to target points such as acupuncture points, Weihe points, and key neurologic points.

Clinical indications for the key ingredients:

Anti interleukin-1 alpha 4C / Anti interleukin-1 beta 4C:

•    Biological classification: Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) belongs to the IL-1 family. Endogenous IL-1ra is produced in human autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases.

•    Etiopathogenesis: It binds to IL-1 receptors in competition with IL-1, but does not elicit intracellular response from this binding. Its key role is counteracting the proinflammatory effects of IL-1.

•    Space-time localization: It is next to Arnica. Reference group: Arnica-Mercurius.

•    Clinical: Immunological based diseases, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, acute and chronic pain, osteoarthritis, chronic arthritis, inflammatory psoriasis, wet eczema, localised inflammatory swelling.  Appropriate for local application.

•    Modalities: Worsens with cold and movement. Improves with rest and warm.

•    Association with other cell mediators: TNF 15C / IL8 4C /

NT4 4C / GCSF 4C.

Beta-Endorphin 4C:

•    Biological classification: Neuropeptide  and neurotransmitter. It is produced by the  anterior lobe of the hypophysis  and by the hypothalamus.

•    Etiopathogenesis: It acts on the mechanism that enhances pain. It suppresses the memory of painful events and negative experiences.

•    Space-time localization: It is next to Arnica.

 Reference group: Mercurius.

•    Clinical: Pain management by enhancing the immune response. It acts on modulating pain, cardiac, gastric and vascular function as well as panic syndrome and satiation. Organic and functional pain. Remedy for somatization disorders. It enhances acupuncture sessions. Antidepressive activity. It may improve individual positive attitudes.

•    Modalities: Worsens due to fatigue and intensive exercise.

•    Association with other cell mediators: Sepia / Arnica / Aconitum / Bromum / Aurum / Iodium / IL6 4C/ Melatonin 15C, 30C, 12LM, 18LM, 30LM / NT4 4C / BDNF 4C.
