Neurology

Neurology is the branch of healthcare that focuses on the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. These systems control your movement, balance, memory, speech, sleep, mood, and sensation. When nerve signals are disturbed, it can lead to problems like headaches, seizures, nerve pain, tingling, weakness, tremors, or sleep issues.

This category includes medicines commonly used to help manage neurological conditions and symptoms.

Depending on the problem, treatment may support nerve function, reduce abnormal nerve activity, control pain, or improve daily functioning. Many neurology medicines need regular use and correct dosing, so they should be used under medical guidance.

Neurology products are often used for:

Migraine and headaches

Medicines for migraine prevention and migraine attacks, including headache linked to nerve sensitivity.

Important safety notes

Neurology medicines can affect the brain and nerves, so do not stop or change doses suddenly, especially for seizure, sleep, or anxiety medicines. Some medicines may cause drowsiness, so driving or operating machines may not be safe until you know how they affect you.

When to see a neurologist urgently

Get urgent medical help if you have:

• Sudden weakness on one side, face drooping, or trouble speaking
• Severe “worst headache of life” or headache with fever/stiff neck
• New seizure, repeated seizures, or fainting/blackouts
• Sudden vision loss, confusion, or severe dizziness with falling
• Numbness/weakness that is getting worse quickly
