This medicine may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Avoid driving vehicles or operating machines if you feel dizzy or drowsy after taking this medicine. Neugaba 150 MG Tablet ER may be taken with or without food. Your doctor will determine the dose and duration of treatment based on your condition. Take it at the same time every day for better results. Avoid taking more than the prescribed dose. Avoid discontinuation of this medicine without consulting your doctor as it may lead to withdrawal symptoms like headache, mood swings, irritation, etc. Neugaba 150 MG Tablet ER is not recommended if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or heart problems. It is not recommended for use in children below 18 years of age as the safety and efficacy data are not clinically established.
