Brief Answer:
Gabapentin contains gabapentin....

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

Gabapentin contains gabapentin which is mainly used in the treatment of nerve related pain and mood disorders. It is s generic drug and that is why the name of the active ingredient is the same as the name of the drug as well. It can interact with some few medications. Would be difficult to tell whether it is safe to take it alongside other drugs you take without knowing the drugs you are on. I will kindly suggest you tell me which drugs you take so that I can look into and see whether there are any possible interactions.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
