Overview

Gabapentin, sold under the brand name Neurontin among others, is an anticonvulsant medication primarily used to treat partial seizures and neuropathic pain. It is a commonly used medication for the treatment of neuropathic pain caused by diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and central pain.

Uses

Gabapentin is recommended for use in focal seizures and neuropathic pain. It is also prescribed off-label for non-neuropathic pain, anxiety disorders, and bipolar disorder, although there is concern regarding its efficacy and potential for misuse.

Regulatory

Gabapentin has been available as a generic medication in the United States since 2004. In some regions, such as the United Kingdom, it is classified as a controlled substance due to concerns about misuse and dependency.

Monitoring

Gabapentin use is closely monitored in clinical settings due to its potential for misuse and the need for dosage adjustments in patients with kidney disease.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Common side effects include sleepiness and dizziness. Serious side effects can include an increased risk of suicide, respiratory depression, and allergic reactions. Lower doses are recommended for those with kidney disease.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

There is limited information on the environmental impact of Gabapentin, but as with many pharmaceuticals, improper disposal can lead to contamination of water sources, potentially affecting aquatic life.

Safety Measures

Gabapentin should be used carefully and at lower doses in people with kidney problems due to possible accumulation and toxicity. It is unclear if it is safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Regulation

In the United States, Gabapentin is not a controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act. However, it is classified as a Schedule V controlled substance in several states due to concerns about misuse.
