In an exchange filing, Marksans Pharma said, “Marksans Pharma hereby announces that its wholly owned subsidiary Relonchem Limited has received marketing authorisation for the product Gabapentin 50 mg/ml oral solution from UK Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency.”

It’s also effective for managing nerve pain, which may result from conditions such as diabetes, shingles, or physical injuries.
