Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had serious nerve pain in right upper gum a few years ago. Took Gabapentin until nerve problem Subsided. Today I m getting some slight twinges of same pain. I have some medication left but It is three and a half years old. Can the medication be taken in emergency?
Hello there . I have read through your question and would like to tell you that neuralgic tooth pain can be relieved with Gabapentin. But it is not advisable to take medicines which are more than three years old as all medicines come with an expiry date. So it is advisable that you consult your dentist and get a new prescription for the same. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write.
