Nerve damage may occur due to various conditions such as diabetes, cancer, spine disorders, thyroid problems, or HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus) infection. Gabaline Plus Tablet works by blocking the movement of pain signals in your brain. It also helps in the formation of a myelin sheet (a protective covering of the nerve fibres) and repairs your damaged nerves.

Consult your doctor if these side effects persist or bother you. Avoid taking this medicine if you are allergic to it.
