Active Ingredient & Action

GABAPENTIN is a structural analogue of the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). It works by binding to voltage-gated calcium channels in the nervous system, which helps to reduce the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and stabilize neuronal membranes. This action results in a decrease in the frequency and severity of seizures and neuropathic pain.
