Description (English)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Anticonvulsant with unknown mechanism of action; crosses the blood brain barrier; increases GABA concentrations in the brain and reduces excitatory amino acid neurotransmission, perhaps through its effects on voltage-gated calcium channels; exhibits antinociceptive, anxiolytic, neuroprotective and anti-epileptic effects.
