Gabapentin is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analog approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for partial seizures and post-herpetic neuralgia. Due to its wide therapeutic window and minimal adverse effects, it is frequently prescribed for additional off-label uses. The purpose of this study was to characterize the number, exposure reason, medical outcomes, and disposition of gabapentin exposures reported to one regional poison control center (PCC).
