No, gabapentin is not a sodium channel blocker. Drugs used as sodium channel blockers control the level of pain in painful peripheral neuropathies.

Class I drugs are sodium channel blockers (membrane-stabilizing drugs) that block fast sodium channels, slowing conduction in fast-channel tissues (working
Sodium channel blockers are drugs which impair the conduction of sodium ions (Na) through sodium channels. Extracellular. The following naturally

Lidocaine is a class Ib antiarrhythmic, which binds to sodium channels. At first, it may be counterintuitive that giving a sodium channel blocker (lidocaine) could be beneficial for patients with sodium channel blocker intoxication. The key feature is that lidocaine competes for binding sites with other sodium channel blockers.

Don’t know if the Dirk Blocker character was a shout-out to the actor (and son of Dan Blocker.....Hoss Cartwright on the old Bonanza show) or not.
