The EMA publishes an EPAR for every medicine granted a central marketing authorisation by the European Commission following an assessment by the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP). EPARs are full scientific assessment reports of medicines authorised at a European Union level. You can find information including a public-friendly summary in question-and-answer format and Although there have been increasing reports of intentional gabapentin misuse, epidemiological evidence for the phenomenon is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are pharmacovigilance abuse signals for gabapentin. Using A referral is a procedure used to resolve issues such as concerns over the safety or benefit-risk balance of a medicine or a class of medicines. In a referral, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is requested to conduct a scientific assessment of a particular medicine or class of medicines on behalf of the European Union (EU). Gabapentin (Neurontin and associated names) has been approved in several Member States for the treatment of epileptic syndromes and several types of neuropathic pain. mber States have granted a marketing authorisation for Gabapentine Glenmark 100 mg, 300 mg and 400 mg hard capsules from Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Europe Limited.

The aim of the study was to identify and assess cases of gabapentinoid misuse or dependence as reported to the European Medicines Agency’s EudraVigilance database, to identify the magnitude of this problem and the characteristics of these reactions. Periodic safety update report single assessments (PSUSAs) are single assessments of related periodic safety update reports (PSURs) for active substances contained in medicines authorised in the European Union (EU). Gabapentin is a gamma-amino acid that is cyclohexane substituted at position 1 by aminomethyl and carboxymethyl groups. Used for treatment of neuropathic pain and restless legs syndrome. It has a role as an anticonvulsant, a calcium channel blocker, an environmental contaminant and a xenobiotic. It is functionally related to a gamma-aminobutyric acid. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has assessed the risk of nitrosamine formation or presence during the manufacture of human medicines and has provided guidance to marketing authorisation holders to avoid the presence of nitrosamine impurities. Introduction Gabapentinoids, pregabalin and gabapentin, are widely used for the treatment of neuropathic pain and epileptic disorders according to the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This section includes the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) product-specific bioequivalence guidance, which summarises in a standardised format the relevant study design principles for demonstration of bioequivalence. Objectives: The aim of the study was to identify and assess cases of gabapentinoid misuse or dependence as reported to the European Medicines Agency's EudraVigilance database, to identify the magnitude of this problem and the characteristics of these reactions. Both gabapentin and pregabalin have been approved by the European Medicine Agency (EMA) for neuropathic pain and generalized anxiety disorder, respectively.
