Gabapentin
What Is Gabapentin?
Gabapentin is a type of anticonvulsant or anti-epileptic medication that is used for pain management treatments. It mimics the effects of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), wherein it diminishes pain transmission by reducing the excitability of nerve cells in the brain. Gabapentin can be compounded in the form of creams and gels. It can also be combined with other ingredients such as ketoprofen, lidocaine, and clonidine for more individualized and optimal effects. Studies show that topical medications that contain 1 to 10% gabapentin deliver minimized systemic side effects and reduced gastrointestinal symptoms as opposed to oral dosages.
What Is Gabapentin For?
Gabapentin topical creams and gels are highly recommended for treating chronic neuropathic pain and preventing and controlling partial seizures among children and adults. As gabapentin blocks transmission coming from damaged nerves, it significantly reduces neuropathic pain. This is something that popular medications like ibuprofen and other non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs cannot address. Diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, generalized vulvodynia, fibromyalgia, restless legs syndrome, and other peripheral neuropathic pain conditions respond well to gabapentin cream or gel. It also relieves nerve pain that is caused by shingles.
