Gabapentin is FDA-approved for treating partial seizures in children aged 3 and up. Though less common, it may also help with neuropathic pain when other options fail. Dosage is based on age and weight, starting low to minimize side effects like drowsiness or mood changes. Regular monitoring ensures safe and effective use. Long-term effects are still being studied, and sudden withdrawal should be avoided. It may interact with antacids, so timing matters. Always consult a pediatric specialist to find the most suitable treatment plan.
