Population Pharmacokinetic Modelling of Morphine, Gabapentin and their Combination in the Rat.

The finding of a lack of pharmacokinetic interaction strengthens the notion that the combination of the two drugs leads to better efficacy in pain treatment due to interaction at the pharmacodynamic level. The interaction found between gabapentin and morphine-3-glucuronide, the latter being inactive, might not have any clinical relevance.
