Gabapentin (as conventional preparations) is used in combination with other anticonvulsant agents in the management of partial seizures with or without secondary generalization. The anticonvulsant potential of gabapentin has been established in studies in which gabapentin or placebo was administered as adjunctive therapy in adults and children 3 years of age or older with refractory partial seizures; comparative efficacy of therapeutically effective dosages of gabapentin versus other anticonvulsants remains to be established.
