Anticonvulsants
Anticonvulsants, also called anti-seizure medicines, are a broad therapeutic group. They include medicines with different active ingredients, dosage forms and clinical roles, so a product should be selected according to a prescriber's advice rather than by assuming all medicines in the class are alike.
What are anticonvulsants used for?
These medicines are principally used to help manage seizure disorders. Depending on the active ingredient and individual circumstances, some anticonvulsants may also be prescribed for other neurological or pain-related uses. Their suitability, approved uses and prescription requirements can differ, even within the same medicine class.
What differences matter when choosing an anticonvulsant?
Active ingredient, formulation, available strength and the condition being treated are important distinctions. Long-established options such as carbamazepine and sodium valproate have a different prescribing history and clinical profile from widely used newer options such as levetiracetam or gabapentin. A prescriber considers the seizure type, other medicines, health history and treatment goals when choosing between them.
What is relevant for customers in Australia?
Gabapentin is authorised for human use in Australia. The gabapentin capsules and tablets we list require a prescription; this prescription classification applies to that listed product form and should not be assumed for every anticonvulsant medicine. Ask your prescriber or pharmacist if you need help confirming whether a particular medicine and strength are appropriate for your prescription.

We list Neurontin, containing gabapentin, in oral capsules and tablets. Confirmed strengths are 100 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg and 800 mg.
