NEURONTIN

NEURONTIN
Neurontin (gabapentin) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1994 for the control of partial seizures due to epilepsy in adults and children. It is also approved for management of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) caused by shingles (herpes zoster). Neurontin affects chemical and nerves in the body that are involved in the cause of seizures and some types of pain. The exact way it works is unknown. Neurontin was originally sold by Parke-Davis, a subsidiary of Warner-Lambert, which in turn was acquired by Pfizer, Inc., in 2000. The Neurontin drug is typically prescribed with other medication for controlling partial seizures associated with epilepsy, but used alone for the treatment of PHN. Neurontin comes is 100, 300 and 400 mg capsules, 600 and 800 mg tablets, and is available in an oral solution form.

Injury
This widespread use raised concerns when information began to come out about a serious Neurontin side effect. Neurontin use has been linked to thought disturbance that might result in suicide. In April 2005 the FDA issued a warning and listed many possible adverse reactions to Neurontin affecting the nervous system.
