Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant medication that has been shown to be effective in treating interstitial cystitis(IC), a chronic bladder condition characterized by pain, pressure, and frequent urination.
Gabapentin works by blocking nerve signals that transmit pain from the bladder to the brain. It may also help to reduce inflammation and relax the bladder muscles.
The typical starting dose of gabapentin for IC is 300 mg once daily. The dose may be gradually increased over time as needed.
It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if gabapentin is an appropriate treatment option.
