GABOB

GABOB (also known as gamma-Aminobutyric acid) is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter with central nervous system (CNS) inhibitory properties.

Overview

GABOB is a derivative of the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA). It is used in some countries to treat epilepsy and has been investigated for many other conditions, but it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States.

Mechanism of Action

GABOB works by mimicking the action of GABA on the GABA receptors in the brain. This increases the inhibitory effect of these receptors, which can help to calm the brain and reduce the activity of the neurons.

Uses

GABOB has been used in the treatment of epilepsy and other conditions that involve excessive neuronal activity. It has also been investigated for use in conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, and certain types of pain.

Side Effects

Like all medications, GABOB can cause side effects. These can include drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea. In rare cases, it can cause more serious side effects such as hallucinations or severe allergic reactions.
