Patient summary
Gabapentin hard capsules from 100mg to 600mg, used in the management of epilepsy and neuropathic pain. A structural analogue of GABA.
Mechanism of action
Gabapentin is a structural analogue of the neurotransmitter GABA, although it does not interact directly with GABA receptors. It binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, which modulates the release of excitatory neurotransmitters.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Use only if the potential benefit outweighs the risk to the foetus. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
Neurontin tablets contain gabapentin, an anticonvulsant used in the management of epilepsy and neuropathic pain. Strengths are 100, 300, 400 and 600mg, and Pfizer is the originator company. Nerve pain of this kind can follow diabetes, shingles or injury.
Gabapentin binds the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels rather than acting on GABA receptors, which modifies release of excitatory neurotransmitters. Onset is 1–2 weeks and a dose lasts 6–8 hours. Drowsiness and dizziness are common; avoid driving or using machinery if they occur, and do not stop suddenly, as withdrawal seizures have been reported. New or worsening low mood, agitation or thoughts of self-harm need urgent medical help. Gabapentin is contraindicated in anyone hypersensitive to it, and alcohol, antacids and morphine can interact with it. Anaphylaxis and respiratory depression are medical emergencies.
