How Movapentin 300 Tablet works

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant/neuropathic pain agent that binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the CNS. This reduces release of excitatory neurotransmitters, lowering abnormal nerve signaling and thereby decreasing neuropathic pain and seizure activity.
