Rx Gabapentin Capsules for Dogs & Cats

Common Brand Names: Neurontin, Gabarone, Gralise, Neurostil

Gabapentin is a prescription medication commonly used in dogs and cats as part of a veterinarian-directed treatment plan for chronic or neuropathic pain, seizure control, and certain anxiety-related situations. It works by reducing excessive nerve signaling associated with pain and seizure activity. Veterinary use in dogs and cats is considered extra-label/off-label, so it should be given exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian.

Uses:

• Pain Management: Used to help manage chronic or nerve-related pain, including pain associated with arthritis, cancer, or intervertebral disc disease.
• Seizure Control: May be used as an adjunctive anticonvulsant when additional seizure control is needed.
• Anxiety Support: May be prescribed for situational anxiety associated with veterinary visits, travel, thunderstorms, or other stressful events.

Available Strengths:

Common capsule strengths include 100 mg, 300 mg, and 400 mg. Available strengths may vary.

Administration:

Give by mouth exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian. Capsules may be given whole in a pill pocket or with a small amount of soft food. If directed by your veterinarian, the capsule may be opened and the powder mixed with canned or soft food.

Active Ingredient: Gabapentin

Timing for Situational Anxiety:

When prescribed for anxiety associated with travel or veterinary visits, gabapentin generally takes effect within about 1 to 2 hours. Follow your veterinarian's specific instructions for timing and dosage.

Possible Side Effects:

• Drowsiness or Sedation: Common side effects in dogs and cats.
• Incoordination: Some pets may initially appear unsteady or less coordinated.
• Other Effects: Vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or weight gain may occur in some animals, particularly at higher doses.

Contact your veterinarian if side effects are severe, persistent, or concerning.

Precautions:

Give only as prescribed by your veterinarian. Do not change the dose or dosing schedule without veterinary direction. Do not abruptly discontinue gabapentin in pets being treated for seizures because withdrawal can trigger seizures. Tell your veterinarian about all medications, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products your pet receives. Use caution in pets with kidney disease and in pregnant or lactating animals. Keep secured and out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose.
