A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) reuptake inhibitors are analogs of gamma-Aminobutyric acid that bind to gamma-aminobutyric acid transporters and inhibit GABA reuptake. This increases extracellular levels of GABA and enhances GABA mediated synaptic activity in the brain.
Gamma-Aminobutyric acid reuptake inhibitors are used as anticonvulsant agents to treat epilepsy.
