Product Information

• Name: Gabapentin Hydrochloride
• Synonyms: 1-(Aminomethyl)cyclohexaneacetic acid hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Gabapentin is a drug that binds to the alpha2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, which are found in the brain and peripheral nervous system. This binding prevents the influx of calcium ions into nerve cells, which prevents neurotransmitter release and blocks transmission of pain signals. Gabapentin has been shown to reduce diabetic neuropathy pain in women by inhibiting the release of substance P from sensory nerves in the bladder. The time for gabapentin to be detected in urine can range from 1 day to 2 weeks, depending on the type of test used. Gabapentin is also used for other indications such as epilepsy, postherpetic neuralgia, and bipolar disorder. Gabapentin may be administered as an acid addition salt with hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid. It is a crystalline polymorph that exhibits different properties when heated or cooled.
