Take Control of Your Neurological Treatment with Gabapentin Monitoring
Living with epilepsy, nerve pain, or neurological conditions can be challenging, and finding the right medication balance is crucial for your quality of life. The Gabapentin Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Test provides the clarity and confidence you need to ensure your treatment is working optimally. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the importance of precise medication management and offer professional testing to help you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your care.
Understanding Your Gabapentin Test
Gabapentin is a medication commonly prescribed for epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and other neurological conditions. However, finding the right dosage can be complex, as individual responses vary significantly. Our therapeutic drug monitoring test measures the exact concentration of Gabapentin in your bloodstream using advanced LC-MS/MS technology – the gold standard in medication testing.
This precise measurement helps determine whether your current dosage provides therapeutic benefits without reaching toxic levels. By understanding your specific medication levels, your doctor can adjust your treatment plan to maximize effectiveness while minimizing potential side effects.
Who Should Consider Gabapentin Testing?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Uncontrolled seizures despite medication
- Persistent nerve pain without relief
- Unexpected side effects from Gabapentin
- Recent dosage changes without improvement
