gabapentina; gabapentín; gabapentin: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el término "gabapentina", y no "gabapentín" ni "gabapentin", es el adecuado para el medicamento antiepiléptico que está empezando a ser utilizado como sustituto de los opioides. [...] La voz "gabapentina", con minúscula, se emplea para aludir a cierto tipo de aminoácido, y es la forma recomendada, de acuerdo con el Diccionario panhispánico de términos médicos, frente al extranjerismo "gabapentin" o la adaptación "gabapentín". 1, record 1, Spanish, - gabapentina
