Pregabalin is structurally similar to gabapentin. Tt is also similar to the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and although it does not act on GABA receptors, it may increase the "density of GABA transporter protein and increases the rate of functional GABA transport".[1] It is approved by the for neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia adjunctive therapy for adult patients with partial onset seizures, and fibromyalgia.[1]
