Gabapentin Mnemonic for USMLE

Study this Gabapentin mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.
Gabapentin is a neurologic drug that works by blocking calcium channels and preventing the release of neurotransmitters. This in turn blocks the generation and propagation of action potentials. By blocking the transmission of nerve impulses, gabapentin can be used to treat peripheral neuropathy, especially post-herpetic neuropathy. This blockade of nerve impulses also makes gabapentin useful as a narrow spectrum antiepileptic, used to treat focal or partial seizures. Non-specific side effects of gabapentin use include sedation and ataxia.
