Conventin is primarily used to treat pain caused by nerve damage, known as neuropathy. This type of pain is often associated with conditions such as diabetes, spinal cord injuries, or shingles infection. Conventin is also sometimes used as part of a treatment plan to control partial seizures in people with neurological disorders.
Conventin is sometimes prescribed to treat other problems such as generalized anxiety disorder and fibromyalgia, a long-term condition that causes widespread pain and a feeling of fatigue. It contains the active ingredient gabapentin, which works to calm nerve activity and reduce abnormal nerve signals that cause pain or spasms.
