VET: In general, avoid the use of the commercially available human oral solution (Neurontin) in dogs as it reportedly contains 300 mg/mL xylitol. As the threshold dose that can cause hypoglycemia in dogs is approximately 100 mg/kg doses of up to 15 mg/kg in dogs using the solution should be safe, but further data is needed to confirm this Additionally, xylitol may be hepatotoxic in dogs. Doses of 500 mg/kg of xylitol are thought to be the threshold for this toxicity, but there have been anecdotal reports of it occuring at much lower doss. In cats, at the dosages used presently, xylitol toxicity dosen not appear to be a problem with gabapentin oral solcuiton, but sue with caution.

In the United States, gabapentin is officially indicated for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia in adults and for the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization, in patients 3 years of age and older. In Europe, gabapentin is indicated for adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial-onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization, in patients 6 years of age and older and as monotherapy in patients 12 years of age and older. It is also used in adults for the treatment of various types of peripheral neuropathic pain, such as painful diabetic neuropathy.
Treatment of chronic pain
Treatment of postherpetic neuralgia
Gabapentin is an anti-convulsant medication that inhibits the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, allowing for its use against pathologic neurotransmission such as that seen in neuropathic pain and seizure disorders. It has a wide therapeutic index, with doses in excess of 8000 mg/kg failing to cause a fatal reaction in rats. Gabapentin is ineffective in absence seizures and should be used in caution in patients with mixed seizure disorders involving absence seizures. Gabapentin has been associated with drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), otherwise known as multi-organ hypersensitivity. This reaction can prove fatal and early symptoms such as fever, lymphadenopathy, and rash should be promptly investigated.
Anti-Anxiety Agents
Agents that alleviate ANXIETY, tension, and ANXIETY DISORDERS, promote sedation, and have a calming effect without affecting clarity of consciousness or neurologic conditions. ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS are commonly used in the symptomatic treatment of anxiety but are not included here. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Anxiety Agents.)
Excitatory Amino Acid Antagonists
Drugs that bind to but do not activate excitatory amino acid receptors, thereby blocking the actions of agonists. (See all compounds classified as Excitatory Amino Acid Antagonists.)
Antimanic Agents
Agents that are used to treat bipolar disorders or mania associated with other affective disorders. (See all compounds classified as Antimanic Agents.)
Analgesics
Compounds capable of relieving pain without the loss of CONSCIOUSNESS. (See all compounds classified as Analgesics.)
Anticonvulsants
Drugs used to prevent SEIZURES or reduce their severity. (See all compounds classified as Anticonvulsants.)

Absorption
Absorption of gabapentin is thought to occur solely via facilitated transport by the LAT1 transporter within the intestines. As this process is saturable, the oral bioavailability of gabapentin is inversely proportional to the administered dose - the oral bioavailability of a 900mg/day regimen is approximately 60%, whereas a 4800mg/day regimen results in only 27% bioavailability. The Tmax of gabapentin has been estimated to be 2-3 hours. Food has no appreciable effect on gabapentin absorption.
Route of Elimination
Gabapentin is eliminated solely in the urine as unchanged drug. Cimetidine, an inhibitor of renal tubular secretion, reduces clearance by approximately 12%, suggesting that some degree of tubular secretion is involved in the renal elimination of gabapentin.
Volume of Distribution
The apparent volume of distribution of gabapentin after IV administration is 586 L. The drug is found in the CSF in concentrations approximately 9-20% of the corresponding plasma concentrations and is secreted into breast milk in concentrations similar to that seen in plasma.
Clearance
Both the plasma clearance and renal clearance of gabapentin are directly proportional to the patient's creatinine clearance due to its primarily renal elimination.
/MILK/ Gabapentin enters maternal milk. It has been calculated that a nursing human infant could be exposed to a maximum dosage of 1 mg/kg/day. This is 5-10% of the usual pediatric (>3 years old) therapeutic dose. In veterinary patients, this appears unlikely to be of significant clinical concern.
Plumb D.C. Veterinary Drug Handbook. 8th ed. (pocket). Ames, IA: Wiley-Blackwell, 2015., p. 650
The pharmacokinetic properties of gabapentin vary based on the specific formulation of the drug. Following oral administration, gabapentin is absorbed principally in the proximal small intestine via a saturable L-amino acid transport system; as a result, the bioavailability of the drug decreases with increasing doses. Gabapentin gastroretentive tablets are specifically formulated to swell upon contact with gastric fluid to a size that promotes gastric retention for approximately 8-10 hours when taken with a meal; this allows for gradual and slow release of the drug to the proximal small intestine, its principal site of absorption. Following administration of gabapentin gastroretentive tablets in healthy individuals, time to peak plasma concentrations of the drug was increased (about 4-6 hours longer), peak plasma concentrations were increased, and systemic exposure was decreased relative to conventional (immediate-release) gabapentin. Gabapentin enacarbil, a prodrug of gabapentin, is rapidly and efficiently converted to gabapentin by first-pass hydrolysis following oral administration. Unlike gabapentin, gabapentin enacarbil is absorbed via high-capacity transporters throughout the GI tract and is not affected by saturable absorption; this improves bioavailability of the drug and allows for dose-proportional exposure. Food has only a minimal effect on the pharmacokinetics of conventional (immediate-release) formulations of gabapentin, but increases the bioavailability of gabapentin gastroretentive tablets. Administration of gabapentin enacarbil extended-release tablets with food also increases systemic exposure of the drug compared with exposure under fasted conditions.

Less than 3% of gabapentin circulates bound to plasma protein. The apparent volume of distribution of gabapentin after 150 mg intravenous administration is 58 +/- 6 L (mean +/- SD). In patients with epilepsy, steady-state predose (Cmin) concentrations of gabapentin in cerebrospinal fluid were approximately 20% of the corresponding plasma concentrations.

Gabapentin is eliminated from the systemic circulation by renal excretion as unchanged drug. Gabapentin is not appreciably metabolized in humans. ... Gabapentin elimination rate constant, plasma clearance, and renal clearance are directly proportional to creatinine clearance. In elderly patients, and in patients with impaired renal function, gabapentin plasma clearance is reduced. Gabapentin can be removed from plasma by hemodialysis.

The precise mechanism through which gabapentin exerts its therapeutic effects is unclear. The primary mode of action appears to be at the auxillary 2-1 subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels (though a low affinity for the 2-2 subunit has also been reported). The major function of these subunits is to facilitate the movement of pore-forming 1 subunits of calcium channels from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell membrane of pre-synaptic neurons. There is evidence that chronic pain states can cause an increase in the expression of 2 subunits and that these changes correlate with hyperalgesia. Gabapentin appears to inhibit the action of 2-1 subunits, thus decreasing the density of pre-synaptic voltage-gated calcium channels and subsequent release of excitatory neurotransmitters. It is likely that this inhibition is also responsible for the anti-epileptic action of gabapentin. There is some evidence that gabapentin also acts on adenosine receptors and voltage-gated potassium channels, though the clinical relevance of its action at these sites is unclear.
Although the exact mechanism by which gabapentin exerts its analgesic effects is not known, the drug has been shown to prevent allodynia (pain-related behavior in response to normally innocuous stimuli) and hyperalgesia (exaggerated response to painful stimuli) in several models of neuropathic pain. Gabapentin also has been shown to decrease pain-related responses after peripheral inflammation in animals; however, the drug has not altered immediate pain-related behaviors. The clinical relevance of these findings is not known. In vitro studies demonstrate that gabapentin binds to the alpha2delta subunit of voltage-activated calcium channels; however, the clinical importance of this effect is not known.

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant agent structurally related to the inhibitory CNS neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Gabapentin enacarbil is a prodrug of gabapentin that is rapidly converted to gabapentin following oral administration; the therapeutic effects of gabapentin enacarbil are attributed to gabapentin. Although gabapentin was developed as a structural analog of GABA that would penetrate the blood-brain barrier (unlike GABA) and mimic the action of GABA at inhibitory neuronal synapses, the drug has no direct GABA-mimetic action and its precise mechanism of action has not been elucidated.

Results of some studies in animals indicate that gabapentin protects against seizure and/or tonic extensions induced by the GABA antagonists picrotoxin and bicuculline or by GABA synthesis inhibitors (e.g., 3-mercaptopropionic acid, isonicotinic acid, semicarbazide). However, gabapentin does not appear to bind to GABA receptors nor affect GABA reuptake or metabolism and does not act as a precursor of GABA or of other substances active at GABA receptors. Gabapentin also has no affinity for binding sites on common neuroreceptors (e.g., benzodiazepine; glutamate; quisqualate; kainate; strychnine-insensitive or -sensitive glycine; alpha1-, alpha2-, or beta-adrenergic; adenosine A1 or A2; cholinergic [muscarinic or nicotinic]; dopamine D1 or D2; histamine H1; type 1 or 2 serotonergic [5-HT1 or 5-HT2]; opiate mc, delta, or k) or ion channels (e.g., voltage-sensitive calcium channel sites labeled with nitrendipine or diltiazem, voltage-sensitive sodium channel sites labeled with batrachotoxinin A 20alpha-benzoate). Conflicting results have been reported in studies of gabapentin affinity for and activity at N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors.

Currently, the clinical management of visceral pain remains unsatisfactory for many patients suffering from this disease. While preliminary animal studies have suggested the effectiveness of gabapentin in successfully treating visceral pain, the mechanism underlying its analgesic effect remains unclear. Evidence from other studies has demonstrated the involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) in the pathogenesis of visceral inflammatory pain. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that gabapentin produces analgesia for visceral inflammatory pain through its inhibitory effect on the PKC-ERK1/2 signaling pathway. Intracolonic injections of formalin were performed in rats to produce colitis pain. Our results showed that visceral pain behaviors in these rats decreased after intraperitoneal injection of gabapentin. These behaviors were also reduced by intrathecal injections of the PKC inhibitor, H-7, and the ERK1/2 inhibitor, PD98059. Neuronal firing of wide dynamic range neurons in L6-S1 of the rat spinal cord dorsal horn were significantly increased after intracolonic injection of formalin. This increased firing rate was inhibited by intraperitoneal injection of gabapentin and both the individual and combined intrathecal application of H-7 and PD98059. Western blot analysis also revealed that PKC membrane translocation and ERK1/2 phosphorylation increased significantly following formalin injection, confirming the recruitment of PKC and ERK1/2 during visceral inflammatory pain. These effects were also significantly reduced by intraperitoneal injection of gabapentin. Therefore, we concluded that the analgesic effect of gabapentin on visceral inflammatory pain is mediated through suppression of PKC and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. Furthermore, we found that the PKC inhibitor, H-7, significantly diminished ERK1/2 phosphorylation levels, implicating the involvement of PKC and ERK1/2 in the same signaling pathway. Thus, our results suggest a novel mechanism of gabapentin-mediated analgesia for visceral inflammatory pain through a PKC-ERK1/2 signaling pathway that may be a future therapeutic target for the treatment of visceral inflammatory pain.

The gabapentinoids (pregabalin and gabapentin) are first line treatments for neuropathic pain. They exert their actions by binding to the alpha2delta (a2d) accessory subunits of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Because these subunits interact with critical aspects of the neurotransmitter release process, gabapentinoid binding prevents transmission in nociceptive pathways. Gabapentinoids also reduce plasma membrane expression of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels but this may have little direct bearing on their therapeutic actions. In animal models of neuropathic pain, gabapentinoids exert an anti-allodynic action within 30 minutes but most of their in vitro effects are 30-fold slower, taking at least 17 hours to develop. This difference may relate to increased levels of a2d expression in the injured nervous system. Thus, in situations where a2d is experimentally upregulated in vitro, gabapentinoids act within minutes to interrupt trafficking of a2d subunits to the plasma membrane within nerve terminals. When a2d is not up-regulated, gabapentinoids act slowly to interrupt trafficking of a2d protein from cell bodies to nerve terminals. This improved understanding of the mechanism of gabapentinoid action is related to their slowly developing actions in neuropathic pain patients, to the concept that different processes underlie the onset and maintenance of neuropathic pain and to the use of gabapentinoids in management of postsurgical pain.
