Question submitted during Session II of The Canine Epilepsy Summit:
"How about neurontin as medicine (for treating dogs with epilepsy)?"
- Answer provided by a Session II Panelist:
Neurotin, also known as gabapentin, is typically used in veterinary patients as an analgesic (pain relieving) drug. Ocassionally it can be used an anti-anxiety medication. This medication has not been found to be as effective as an anti-epileptic in dogs compared to other anticonvulsant medications.
