    Glossary Gabapentin

    medication used to treat nerve pain and seizures

    Gabapentin, also known by brand names such as Neurontin, is a medication primarily used to treat nerve pain and seizures. It works by affecting the way nerves send messages to your brain, which can help reduce pain and prevent seizures. While not directly related to hair or alopecia, it is sometimes prescribed off-label for conditions like anxiety or restless leg syndrome.
