Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant drug widely prescribed for various ailments, including orofacial pain. It was once thought to have no potential for abuse; however, the last decade has seen a dramatic rise in the nonmedical use of gabapentin, particularly among opioid-dependent patients. Gabapentin is sedating and interacts with other sedating medications such as opioids, which can lead to impairment and accidents and may raise the risk of overdose. Dentists must be aware of the potential for abuse of gabapentin and weigh its benefits against its risks when prescribing the drug.
加巴喷丁是一种抗惊厥药物，广泛用于治疗各种疾病，包括口腔面部疼痛。它曾被认为没有滥用潜力；然而，在过去十年中，加巴喷丁的非医疗用途急剧增加，尤其是在阿片类药物依赖患者中。加巴喷丁具有镇静作用，并与其他镇静药物如阿片类药物相互作用，这可能导致功能受损和事故，并可能增加过量用药的风险。牙医必须意识到加巴喷丁的滥用可能性，并在开处方时权衡其益处与风险。
