Brief Summary  
Modified radical mastectomy attributed for 31% of all breast surgeries and is preferred over other surgeries because of its cosmetic and functional supremacy. Regardless of being the commonly done surgery, one of the terrible complications of MRM is acute Intraoperative and postoperative pain due to the handling of substantial amount of breast tissue, axillary lymph nodes and intercostal nerves.
Opioids are one of the most commonly used medications but they are accompanied with a wide range of side effects like nausea, vomiting, constipation, excessive sedation, clouded sensorium, dizziness, respiratory depression, and addiction.
Hence a practice of multimodal analgesia using primarily acetaminophen, non-selective NSAIDS, selective COX-2 (cyclooygenase) NSAIDS, steroids , GABA agonist[gabapentin] is used. Our study is designed to compare the analgesic efficacy and effect on opioid sparing effect of Gabapentin, Dexamethasone, Paracetamol and ketorolac combination with Dexamethsone, Paracetamol and Ketorolac combination in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.


All the patients recruited in the study will be divided into 2 groups
Group D - Tab. Gabapentin 600mg orally + Dexamethasone (0.2mg/kg) i.v in 100 ml saline over 15 minutes, 1 hr before surgery and PCM 1g + Ketorolac 30mg I.V before induction
Group C - Placebo tablet(Calcium carbonate 500 mg) orally + Dexamethasone(0.2mg/kg) i.v in 100 ml saline over 15 minutes, 1 hr before surgery and PCM 1g +I.V Ketorolac 30mg before induction

Patients will be assessed for 24 hrs fentanyl consumption in the postoperative period.
