FAQ's on Neurokem 150mg Capsule

What is Neurokem and what is it used for?

Neurokem belongs to the anticonvulsants class of medicines. It is used to treat seizures. It is also helpful in treating nerve pain (neuropathic pain) which could be due to diabetes, shingles, or injury. It is also used in fibromyalgia (a long-lasting condition that may cause pain, tiredness, muscle stiffness and tenderness as well as difficulty falling or staying asleep. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe this medicine for the treatment of anxiety.

Is it necessary to continue taking Neurokem even if I feel fine?

Yes, you should not stop taking Neurokem even if you feel fine. If you are taking it for epilepsy and stop its consumption suddenly, you may have seizures that will not stop. Stopping it suddenly may result in withdrawal symptoms and you may experience anxiety, difficulty in sleeping, feeling sick, pain and sweating. These can be prevented if the dose of Neurokem is reduced gradually.

I have been prescribed Neurokem for pain due to shingles. When can I expect relief from pain?

It may take a few weeks to see full benefits while taking Neurokem. However, people have experienced relief from pain after a week of starting Neurokem.

Can I take Diazepam and Neurokem together?

Yes, Neurokem and Diazepam can be used together. But, there might be a chance of increased side effects since both these medicines act on the brain to depress excessive activity.

How long do I need to take Neurokem?

Duration for the use of Neurokem depends on the condition for which you are taking this medicine. If you are taking it for epilepsy, and it is effectively helping you then, you may have to continue it for years. If you are taking it for neuropathic or fibromyalgia pain, it is likely that once your symptoms improve you will have to continue taking it for several months. This will ensure that the problem does not come back. It is advised not to stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor.

Neurokem has varied roles. Does it work in the same way for each disease?

No, Neurokem works in different ways for different diseases. In epilepsy, it stops seizures by reducing the abnormal electrical activity in the brain. In chronic pain, it blocks pain messages travelling from brain to spine.

Is Neurokem addictive?

Addiction to Neurokem is more common in people who take it for unauthorized reasons. Taking Neurokem more than the recommended doses or taking it for long periods of time may also cause addiction. In addition to that, any person who has a history of drug abuse should never use Neurokem. In case you feel you are becoming physically dependent on Neurokem, inform your doctor immediately.
