Neurontin (gabapentin) is a prescription anticonvulsant and analgesic medication specifically formulated to manage neuropathic pain and control certain types of seizures. It modulates calcium channels to reduce aberrant neuronal excitability, offering a targeted mechanism for chronic pain conditions. This agent is widely utilized in neurology and pain management due to its favorable safety profile and efficacy in diverse patient populations.
Features
- Active ingredient: Gabapentin
- Available in 100 mg, 300 mg, and 400 mg capsules; 600 mg and 800 mg tablets; and oral solution (250 mg/5 mL)
- Mechanism: Binds to the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels
- Bioavailability: Dose-dependent, approximately 60% at 300 mg, decreasing with higher doses
- Half-life: 5–7 hours in patients with normal renal function
- Excretion: Primarily renal, unchanged
Benefits
- Effectively reduces shooting, burning, or electric shock-like neuropathic pain
- Decreases seizure frequency in partial-onset epilepsies
- May alleviate restless legs syndrome symptoms and postherpetic neuralgia
- Non-hepatically metabolized, making it suitable for patients with liver impairment
- Lower risk of pharmacokinetic drug interactions compared to older anticonvulsants
- Can be used adjunctively with other analgesics or antiepileptics
Common use
Neurontin is indicated for the management of postherpetic neuralgia in adults and as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial-onset seizures with and without secondary generalization in patients aged 3 years and older. Off-label uses include diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, neuropathic cancer pain, and certain anxiety disorders. It is also employed in veterinary medicine for chronic pain and seizure control.
Dosage and direction
Dosage must be individualized based on clinical response and tolerability. For postherpetic neuralgia: initiate at 300 mg on day 1, 300 mg twice daily on day 2, and 300 mg three times daily on day 3. May titrate up to 1800 mg/day (600 mg three times daily). For epilepsy: starting dose is 300 mg three times daily; may increase to 900–1800 mg/day divided three times daily. Dosage adjustment required in renal impairment. Administer with or without food; tablets should be swallowed whole.
Precautions
- Gradually taper dose to avoid withdrawal symptoms (anxiety, insomnia, nausea)
- Monitor for signs of somnolence, dizziness, or visual changes
- Use caution in elderly patients due to increased risk of adverse effects
- May cause false-positive readings with certain urinary protein tests
- Not recommended during pregnancy unless potential benefit justifies potential risk
- Abrupt discontinuation may increase seizure frequency
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to gabapentin or any component of the formulation
- Concurrent use with other gabapentinoids without careful risk-benefit assessment
- Severe renal impairment without appropriate dosage adjustment
Possible side effect
Common (≥1%): dizziness, somnolence, peripheral edema, ataxia, fatigue, nystagmus. Less common: blurred vision, diplopia, dry mouth, constipation, weight gain. Rare but serious: angioedema, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, suicidal ideation, respiratory depression (especially with opioids), myopathy, rhabdomyolysis. Pediatric patients may exhibit emotional lability, hostility, or hyperkinesia.
Drug interaction
- Opioids: increased risk of respiratory depression and sedation
- Antacids containing aluminum/magnesium: reduce gabapentin bioavailability by ~20%
- CNS depressants (alcohol, benzodiazepines): additive sedative effects
- Hydrocodone: may increase gabapentin absorption
- Morphine: increased gabapentin exposure
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Maintain regular dosing schedule to ensure stable plasma concentrations.
Overdose
Symptoms may include diplopia, slurred speech, drowsiness, lethargy, and diarrhea. Serious overdose can lead to coma. There is no specific antidote; management includes supportive care and hemodialysis in patients with renal impairment (gabapentin is dialyzable). Contact poison control or emergency services immediately.
Storage
Store at 20°C–25°C (68°F–77°F); excursions permitted to 15°C–30°C (59°F–86°F). Keep in original container, tightly closed, and away from moisture. Oral solution: refrigerate or store at room temperature for up to 56 days after opening. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Reviews
Clinical studies demonstrate significant reduction in neuropathic pain scores compared to placebo. In randomized trials, 30–40% of patients achieved ≥50% pain relief. Patient-reported outcomes indicate improved sleep and quality of life. Long-term tolerability is generally good, though side effects may limit dosing in some individuals. Real-world evidence supports its role in multimodal pain management strategies.
