Gamma-aminobutyric acid analogs


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) analogs are drugs that are similar to gamma-aminobutyric acid neurotransmitter, which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. These analogs act as GABA receptors agonists and cause inhibitory action like GABA.
