How does it work?

Neurontin capsules and tablets contain the active ingredient gabapentin, which is a medicine that is mainly used to treat epilepsy. (NB Gabapentin is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.) Gabapentin works by stabilising electrical activity in the brain.

The brain and nerves are made up of many nerve cells that communicate with each other through electrical signals. These signals must be carefully regulated for the brain and nerves to function properly. When abnormally rapid and repetitive electrical signals are released in the brain, the brain becomes over-stimulated and normal function is disturbed. This can result in seizures or fits.

Gabapentin prevents epileptic fits by preventing the excessive electrical activity in the brain. It is thought to do this by mimicking the activity of a neurotransmitter called GABA.

Neurotransmitters are natural body chemicals that are stored in nerve cells. They are involved in transmitting messages between the nerve cells. GABA is a neurotransmitter that acts as a natural 'nerve calming' agent. It helps keep the nerve activity in the brain in balance. Gabapentin is structurally similar to GABA and so is thought to mimick its action. This helps calm the nerve activity in the brain.

Gabapentin is used as an add-on treatment for adults whose epilepsy has not been well controlled by other antiepileptic medicines, such as carbamazepine and phenytoin, or for people who cannot take these older medicines. It is used to prevent partial seizures, and partial seizures that spread to secondary generalised seizures.

As gabapentin stabilises electrical nerve activity, it can also be used to treat pain that occurs a result of damage to or a disturbance in the function of nerves (neuropathic pain).

What is it used for?

- Epilepsy - used as an add-on therapy for adults and children aged six years and over with partial seizures with or without secondary generalisation

- Nerve pain (neuropathic pain) in adults, for example due to diabetic neuropathy or following shingles (post-herpetic neuralgia)

How can this medicine affect other medicines?

Indigestion remedies containing aluminium or magnesium may reduce the absorption of gabapentin from the gut. Indigestion remedies should therefore not be taken at the same time as a dose of gabapentin, or in the two hours before a dose.

This medicine is not known to interact significantly with other medicines. However, if it makes you feel sleepy or dizzy, this effect is likely to be increased if you take it in combination with other medicines that can cause drowsiness, in particular morphine, or with alcohol. If you are prescribed morphine in combination with gabapentin you should let your doctor know if it makes you feel sleepy, or if any drowsiness gets worse.

This medicine does not affect hormonal contraceptives such as the pill.

Other medicines containing the same active ingredient

Gabapentin tablets and capsules are also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.
