Gabapentin is a new antiepileptic drug (aed) with an attractive pharmacokinetic profile. It is absorbed by an active and saturable transport system, and has a high volume of distribution. Unlike many other drugs, gabapentin is not metabolized by the liver and is excreted unchanged in the urine.
Understanding the Context
This characteristic simplifies its use, as it does not interact significantly with other. Eliminated 100% unchanged in the urine. A high volume of distribution indicates greater concentration in tissue than in plasma. It is not metabolized and does not induce hepatic enzymes or inhibit.
