Out of 33 clinical trials reviewed, 12 assessed nausea and/or vomiting (N/V) associated with gabapentin therapy as primary outcome measures. These 12 studies provided a Grade A recommendation for gabapentin use in treating PONV, a Grade B recommendation for use in treating CINV, and a Grade C recommendation for use in treating HG. As a drug originally introduced for its anticonvulsant effects, gabapentin has been recently shown to be effective in the treatment of nausea and vomiting in various clinical settings. Gabapentin side effects are usually mild, and they may be less common with gabapentin ER forms. Examples of mild side effects that can happen include: Vertigo (dizziness) Feeling fatigued or sleepy. Fluid retention. Trouble balancing or controlling movement. Diarrhea or constipation. Nausea and vomiting. Brain fog. Headache. Weight gain. Dry mouth Gabapentin is a low-cost strategy to improve complete control of CINV, specially delayed CINV control. Gabapentin for the prevention of chemotherapy- induced nausea and vomiting: a pilot study Gabapentin's main clinical use is in the treatment of neuropathic pain where its binding to neuronal alpha-2/delta subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) is critical to its mechanism of action. Over the past 10 years, there have been several reports of gabapentin also having anti-nausea and anti-emetic effects in conditions including postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV In a review study by Gattuso et al., out of 33 randomized clinical trials, 12 were related to the effect of gabapentin on nausea and vomiting. These clinical trials, in the first place, showed that gabapentin could reduce PONV. Gastroenterologists at Massachusetts General Hospital have begun prescribing low-dose gabapentin for patients with functional dyspepsia because it is thought to be capable of relieving visceral pain. It's not entirely clear how gabapentin works to treat restless legs syndrome. Side effects of gabapentin. Common side effects of gabapentin include: drowsiness or dizziness; headache or blurred vision; nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation; dry mouth; weight gain; swelling of the hands, feet, or ankles; back or joint pain 1. Introduction. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have an incidence of 40–90% especially after general anesthesia [Citation 1].Severe medical complications could be caused by PONV such as suture dehiscence, subcutaneous emphysema, esophageal rupture, or pneumothorax, which could dramatically increase the overall health care costs and boost patient quality and outcomes through its “Gabapentin is the first therapy shown to effectively reduce nausea and vomiting, and improve oral nutrition in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum,” Guttuso said. The double-blind study was conducted on 21 women who didn’t respond to standard treatments and who required intravenous hydration. For healthcare professionals. Applies to gabapentin: compounding powder, oral capsule, oral solution, oral tablet, oral tablet extended release. General adverse events. The most common adverse reactions associated with the use of this drug were dizziness, somnolence, and peripheral edema. In this small trial, gabapentin was more effective than standard-of-care therapy for reducing nausea and vomiting and increasing oral nutrition and global satisfaction in outpatients with hyperemesis gravidarum. These data build on previous findings in other patient populations supporting gabapentin Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug with antiemetic properties. We evaluated prophylactic oral gabapentin as compared with ondansetron for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing maxillo facial surgery. A double-blind, Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant, has been shown to be effective as a non-opioid ancillary agent for postoperative pain management. 9 The safety profile, minimal drug interactions, pharmacokinetics (good oral bioavailability and renal elimination), and relatively flat dose–response relationship with respect to safety and efficacy favour its clinical use. 10, 11 Interestingly, in the recent past Phase III double-blind, placebo-controlled study of gabapentin for the prevention of delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy, NCCTG N08C3 (Alliance). Anyhow, so gabapentin is the next on the list. Anyone out there been prescribed this as an anti-emetic? I know it is widely used to help with pain, but cannot find anything about it treating nausea and/or vomiting. Thanks for your help. Peace Gabapentin’s main clinical use is in the treatment of neuropathic pain where its binding to neuronal alpha-2/delta subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) is critical to its mechanism of action. Over the past 10 years, there have been several reports of gabapentin also having anti-nausea and anti-emetic effects in conditions including postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV Gabapentin’s anti-nausea effects were first reported in 2003 when associated with marked improvements in delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea among nine women with breast cancer (Guttuso et al. 2003b). since then, there have been several reports of gabapentin’s benefits both in the treatment and prophylaxis of nausea and emesis in set- Gabapentin as an adjunctive drug could be more effective in reducing the severity of GI symptoms in patients with dyspepsia, especially neurological symptoms (such as pain, reflux, and indigestion). Keywords: Functional dyspepsia, gabapentin, gastrointestinal disorders. In a recent meta-analysis of 8 trials, gabapentin reduced PONV as a primary endpoint with a relative risk of 0.60 (99% CI, 0.50–0.72) including nausea with an RR of 0.34 (99% CI, 0.20–0.56) and vomiting with an RR of 0.34 (99% CI, 0.19–0.61). This therapy is associated with sedation as a side effect.
