Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have blood pressure 120/90 - is this anything to be concerned with please? Also, my Mother is COPD and diabetic. She is suffering with sciatica and has been given gabapintine 100mg 3 pills 3 times a day. How long will these take to take effect please?
Gabapentin ameliorates the symptom; it does not treat the cause. A week is reasonable time to feel better, Strict control of diabetes is important… The lower figure of 90 is upper limit. Need frequent follow up, especially in diabetic. May need drugs, sooner or later…
Take care Wishing all well God bless
