Gabapentinoids: Difference between revisions

'''Gabapentinoids''' are a class of chemical compounds that are derivatives of [[GABA|gamma-aminobutyric acid]] which block α2δ subunit-containing voltage-dependent calcium [[receptor#Ion_channels|channels]]. While all gabapentinoids block the α2δ channels, they also have unique pharmacological characteristics such as enzyme inhibition.

Gabapentinoids are commonly used for epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and [[restless legs syndrome]]. Gabapentinoids are often [[Sedation|sedating]], have [[Seizure suppression|anticonvulsant]] effects, and [[Anxiety suppression|suppress anxiety]]. Drugs in this class include [[gabapentin]], [[F-phenibut]], [[phenibut]], and [[pregabalin]]. Gabapentinoids can be dangerous when mixed with other [[depressants]] such as [[benzodiazepine]]s, [[alcohol]] and [[opioid]]s.
