gabapentinoids

Gabapentinoids, including gabapentin and pregabalin, are medications primarily used to treat nerve-related pain and certain neurological conditions. They work by calming overactive nerve signals, which can reduce pain, seizures, and sometimes anxiety. These drugs bind to specific parts of nerve cells, inhibiting excessive nerve activity. They are generally prescribed when other treatments haven't been effective and should be used under medical supervision due to potential side effects and dependence risks. Gabapentinoids are effective for managing chronic pain conditions like neuropathy and certain seizure disorders, providing relief by modulating nerve signal transmission.
