What is Gabapentin?

Gabapentin is a prescription medication primarily used to treat certain types of seizures and neuropathic pain. It is often prescribed under brand names such as Neurontin, Gralise, and Horizant. Gabapentin works by affecting the chemicals and nerves in the body that are involved in the cause of seizures and certain types of pain.

Uses:

1. Epilepsy: Gabapentin is used to treat partial seizures in adults and children who are at least 3 years old. It is usually used in combination with other seizure medications.
2. Neuropathic Pain: It is effective in managing nerve pain caused by conditions such as shingles (postherpetic neuralgia) and diabetic neuropathy.
3. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): Gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant) is used to treat moderate-to-severe RLS.

Mechanism of Action:

Gabapentin’s exact mechanism is not completely understood, but it is known to mimic the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It binds to certain calcium channels in the nervous system, which reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and helps to stabilize nerve activity.

Gabapentin can be an effective treatment for managing seizures and certain types of pain, but it is important to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
