Gabapentin was first synthesized in the mid-1970s as part of research into compounds related to the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). [1]
Even though it was developed earlier, gabapentin didn’t reach patients until later. It was approved for use in the United States in 1993 (initially for epilepsy). [2]
People often mix up two different milestones: the year gabapentin was created (mid-1970s) versus the year it became a marketed medicine (US approval in 1993). [1][2]
