STARGAB M 300

Stargab M 300 is a fixed-dose combination tablet with two active ingredients that work on nerve health in different ways.

Gabapentin 300 mg is an anticonvulsant that is widely used for nerve pain. It binds to a protein on nerve cells (the alpha-2-delta subunit of calcium channels) and reduces the release of pain-signalling chemicals. In practice, this turns down the "over-firing" of damaged nerves. Despite its name, it is a gabapentinoid and not an anti-inflammatory painkiller. It does not work like paracetamol or NSAIDs.

Methylcobalamin 500 mcg is the active, ready-to-use form of vitamin B12. Nerves need B12 to maintain their protective covering (myelin sheath) and to repair themselves. Low B12 can itself cause tingling, numbness and weakness. In people with nerve damage, adding methylcobalamin supports the body's repair process.

Why combine them? Gabapentin addresses the symptoms (burning, shooting pain, pins and needles), while methylcobalamin supports the nerve itself. Many patients with neuropathy also have low B12, especially those on metformin, those on long-term acid-reducing medicines and those following a vegetarian diet, which is common in India. One tablet covers both needs.

Product Information

Why Is Stargab M 300 Important?

Nerve pain is very different from ordinary muscle or joint pain. It is often described as burning, electric-shock-like, stabbing, or "pins and needles", and it can be worse at night. Common causes in India include:

• Diabetic neuropathy: long-standing high sugar damages the nerves of the feet and hands
• Post-herpetic neuralgia: pain that continues after shingles
• Vitamin B12 deficiency neuropathy
• Nerve compression (for example, sciatica or carpal tunnel)
• Chemotherapy-related and alcohol-related neuropathy

Untreated nerve pain has real consequences:

• Broken sleep because pain flares at night
• Reduced mobility and balance, which raises the risk of falls
• Foot injuries and ulcers when numbness hides small cuts, particularly in diabetes
• Low mood and anxiety linked to chronic pain

Ordinary painkillers often give limited relief for nerve pain, which is why doctors turn to medicines that act on the nerves themselves. Pairing such a medicine with active B12 gives a treatment that targets both symptom and cause where B12 is part of the problem.

Why this matters for Indian patients and clinics: India has a large diabetic population and a high prevalence of B12 deficiency. Diabetologists, neurologists, orthopaedic specialists and physicians need dependable, GMP-manufactured options, and pharmacies and hospitals need consistent supply.

Key Benefits 

• Eases neuropathic pain: helps reduce burning, shooting and electric-shock-like pain.
• Reduces tingling and numbness: supports relief of "pins and needles" sensations.
• Supports nerve repair: methylcobalamin is the active B12 form that nerves use to maintain myelin.
• Helps correct B12 shortfall: useful where low B12 contributes to the problem, such as in metformin users and vegetarians.
• Better sleep for many patients: reduced night-time nerve pain can improve rest.
• Two actions in one tablet: fewer tablets to remember, which helps adherence.
• Established, widely used combination: both ingredients have a long history in neurology and pain care.
• Made under WHO-GMP and ISO standards: assured manufacturing quality from Steris Healthcare.

Precautions Before Taking 

Tell your doctor before starting if you:

• Have kidney disease. The dose of gabapentin needs adjusting, and a fixed-dose tablet may not be appropriate.
• Take opioid painkillers (such as tramadol, codeine or morphine), sleeping pills, sedatives or drink alcohol. Gabapentin combined with these can cause serious breathing difficulty, heavy sedation and coma.
• Have lung disease, asthma, COPD or sleep apnoea. The risk of slowed breathing is higher.
• Are elderly. The risk of dizziness, falls and confusion is higher.
• Have a history of depression, mood problems, or substance misuse. Gabapentin has a potential for misuse and dependence.
• Have had a rash or allergic reaction to any medicine.
• Are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding. Use only if your doctor advises.
• Have Leber's disease (hereditary optic nerve atrophy). Cobalamin is not advised in this condition.
• Have low potassium or are being treated for severe B12-deficiency anaemia. Your doctor may monitor your blood.
