Brief Answer:
Nothing, take gabapentin as usual but after a couple of hours...

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I am sorry to know that you took Choleast supplement (5). Nothing worrisome will happen. Choleast can be taken 1 or 2 tablets twice or thrice daily, so nothing worrisome will happen.

Try to take gabapentin as usual as nothing will happen. But, take it after a couple of hours instead.

If you still feel uneasy, and if you took the choleast within the last couple of hours, then, can provoke vomiting by drinking lots of warm water. Otherwise, do not worry as nothing worrisome will happen.

No need to take charcoal.

Take care,
Dr.Albana
