• Helps control partial seizures in epilepsy 
• Relieves nerve pain (neuropathic pain) such as diabetic neuropathy or post‑herpetic neuralgia 
• Well-studied, with a known safety and dosing profile
• Flexible dosing — initial titration allows finding the most effective and tolerable dose for each patient
• Oral capsule makes it convenient for long-term therapy

1. Take the capsule orally, either with food or without, as prescribed by your doctor. 
2. Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water — do not chew or crush. 
3. Your doctor will likely start with a low dose and gradually increase. 
4. Maintain a regular dosing schedule to ensure stable blood levels.
5. If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it's close to your next scheduled dose — then skip the missed one; do not double up.
