Gabapentin tablets

Function and Efficacy

The mechanism of gabapentin's anticonvulsant effect is still unclear, but animal studies suggest that gabapentin can inhibit epileptic seizures, similar to other marketed anticonvulsant drugs. Results from the maximum electric shock test in mice and rats, the benzotetrazolyl epilepsy seizure test, and other animal studies (such as genetic epilepsy models) suggest that gabapentin has antiepileptic effects, but the relevance of these epilepsy models to humans is unclear. Gabapentin is structurally related to the neurotransmitter GABA, but does not interact with GABA receptors. It can neither be metabolized into GABA or GABA agonists, nor is it an inhibitor of GABA uptake or degradation. Radioligand binding experiments have found that gabapentin has no affinity for many common receptor sites, including benzodiazepine receptors, at concentrations of 100 μM.
