Working Mechanism Of Gabasign 

The primary functioning of Gabasign involves two distinct mechanisms of action- 

Seizures- The medication improves the sign of seizure by altering the effect of calcium in the body, as a low calcium level is reported to cause a seizure. It further reduces the irregular electrical activity in the brain (maintains the communication between nerve cells) to improve the epileptic signs. 

Neuropathic Pain- The action of Gabasign to reduce neuropathic pain involves blocking the pain signals from the affected body part from reaching the brain receptors. 

Unlike most medications, Gabasign begins to work before getting metabolized in the liver. It is eliminated via the kidney as urine and has a 5 to 7 hours half-life. The peak plasma concentration of Gabasign is reached after 2 to 3 hours of administration.
