Gabapentin is a medication primarily used to treat seizures and nerve pain. It belongs to a class of drugs called anticonvulsants. Although its exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, gabapentin is thought to work by affecting the chemicals and nerves in the body that are involved in seizures and pain signals. It affects certain neurotransmitters in the brain and may help to reduce abnormal electrical activity in the nervous system. For more information click the link.
