How does NEURONTIN work?
NEURONTIN is an antiepileptic that’s also used to help with nerve pain. It has a similar structure to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical in the brain that calms nerves. It’s not completely known how NEURONTIN works to treat seizures or nerve pain, but it’s thought to work by lowering the activation of nerves involved with causing nerve pain and seizures.
