Indications:

Gabapentin is indicated for the management of chronic pain and seizures in dogs and cats. It is commonly used to treat neuropathic pain, a type of pain that results from damage to or dysfunction of the nervous system. Gabapentin is also used to control seizures in pets with epilepsy, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other anticonvulsant medications.

How it works:

Gabapentin works by binding to specific receptors in the brain and nervous system, specifically the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels. By binding to these receptors, gabapentin modulates the activity of neurotransmitters, including gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps reduce the transmission of pain signals and prevent seizures. Gabapentin's exact mechanism of action in managing chronic pain and seizures is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve its ability to modulate calcium channels and reduce excitatory neurotransmitter release, leading to a reduction in pain perception and seizure activity.
