How Infigaba 100 Tablet works

Gabapentin is an antiepileptic/neuropathic pain medicine that binds to the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the CNS. This reduces release of excitatory neurotransmitters and decreases abnormal nerve signaling, relieving neuropathic pain and helping control seizures.
