Many drugs can cause cutaneous (skin) side effects. The severity of the symptoms can range from a mild rash to life-threatening conditions causing skin failure and death. Certain groups of drugs are known to cause frequent, specific, or serious skin reactions. The most common gabapentin (Neurontin) side effects are dizziness and drowsiness. This may affect your ability to drive or perform other activities. Other gabapentin side effects include edema (fluid buildup), weight gain, and eye problems, but these aren’t as common. Rare but serious gabapentin side effects include mood changes in children. A drug rash or eruption is a type of drug reaction involving your skin. We'll go over how to identify the different types and which ones require medical treatment. Anticoagulant-induced skin Gabapentin and pregabalin are safe and efficacious options to treat older adults with chronic pruritus.

But not all drug rashes are mild — and some can even be deadly. How can you tell a serious rash from one that is This article provides an overview of the pathogenesis and risk factors associated with antiepileptic drug (AED) hypersensitivity reactions, provides prescribing guidelines that may minimize the risk of antiepileptic induced rashes, and discusses treatment options for rashes. What is drug-induced pruritus? Pruritus is the medical name for itching.Drug-induced pruritus is an itch caused or triggered by medication. There are various itchy drug eruptions, but generally, the term ‘drug-induced pruritus’ implies that no primary rash is present — just scratch marks.

In adults, reported prevalence of rash possibly related to gabapentin range from 1% to 10%. A postmarketing surveillance study reported gabapentin treatment failure as a consequence of rash in 0.4% of 3000 patients. We present the case of an 88-year-old woman who developed an erythematous maculopapular rash on both thighs three days after starting gabapentin for neuropathic leg pain, without other associated symptoms. Skin biopsy was compatible with cutaneous vasculitis with a leukocytoclastic pattern. Some studies suggest gabapentin may cause severe rashes, including Exfoliative Dermatitis, generalized neutrophilic fixed drug eruption, and cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis, while other studies indicate its safety and effectiveness in treating pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia. rashes Gabapentin might cause.

Gabapentin is widely used for neuralgia and seizure control. It has rare drug-drug interaction and common adverse effects are dizziness, drowsiness and unsteadiness. Allergy reaction is rarely reported. We are here presenting a case of gabapentin-induced angioedema of tongue. We present a case of Gabapentin-induced DRESS syndrome in a 66-year-old man, a diagnosed patient with diabetes mellitus and hypertension who presented with a generalized maculopapular rash mainly on the face and extremities associated with fever and lymphadenopathy. We report a novel case of clinical hypersensitivity syndrome secondary to gabapentin. A patient developed altered mental status, fever, diffuse macular rash, and an enlarged spleen. This constellation of symptoms and signs began 9 days after gabapentin therapy was begun.
