50 rs, Gabapentin is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as anticonvulsants. It is primarily used to treat epilepsy, but it is also prescribed for other conditions such as neuropathic pain, restless legs syndrome, and certain types of nerve pain. Gabapentin works by affecting the chemicals and neurotransmitters in the brain that are involved in transmitting pain signals. It is believed to reduce abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which can help control seizures and alleviate neuropathic pain. The medication comes in various forms, including capsules, tablets, and an oral solution. It is usually taken orally, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. The dosage and treatment duration may vary depending on the specific condition being treated.
