Both lithium and valproate have been reported to increase rat CSF GABA levels. Regarding valproate, animal studies reported that it enhances GABA levels, GABA synaptic release, GAD activity, neuronal GABA responsiveness, and inhibits GABA-T in several brain regions.
Drug-drug interactions are unlikely for both pregabalin and gabapentin. Neither pregabalin nor gabapentin is affected by cytochrome (CYP) drug interactions, as neither drug is metabolized by CYP enzymes. Both undergo metabolism to a negligible extent (<1%). Renal excretion is the major method of both drugsâ elimination from the body.
