Özet

Objective: Gabapentin (GBP), which was first developed as an anticonvulsant agent, has recently gained great attention considering its pain relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of GBP on carrageenan (CAR)-induced paw edema and its gastric side effects by determining gastric mucus secretion in rats.
