Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Evion And Gabaneuron Right Medication For Cramps In Knee And Its Dosage?
My mother is getting cramps behind her knee for the last 8-10 days. I do not know if it is important to tell that she had been ill in the previous month about 15 days back & she had taken levofloxacin for cough cold & fever. Now she is getting these cramps & has been advised Evion 400 (1 tablet daily) and Gabaneuron SR 600 (1/2 tablet morning evening per day) for a few days. Kindly inform if this is the right medicine & what dosage should be given
Your mother has been prescribed Evion i.e. vitamin E and Gabapentin both of which are known to reduce muscle cramps. The dosages which she is currently getting are also correct. The dosage of Gabapentin may be increased to 900-1800mg per day slowly if she does not get relief with the current dosage.
It is also important to know the cause of the muscle cramps to treat them adequately. Some common causes are dehydration, calcium and magnesium deficiency, kidney problems or anemia. They can be ruled out by blood tests for the same.
Hope this helps. Wishing her good health.
Regards, Dr Geeta
