The use of gabapentin, even when used correctly, may cause some side effects. Usually, the side effects are minor and tolerable. But, sometimes, they may be more serious. Sometimes, blood clots are a good thing. They protect you from bleeding too much if you’re injured or have surgery. Don’t Ignore side effects. Always alert your provider if you experience Deep venous thrombosis is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 6 - 12 months also take Revlimid, and have Multiple myeloma. Blood urine is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 10+ years also take Vitamin D3, and have Renal cell carcinoma. 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; flulike symptoms such as fever or body aches. Rare but serious side effects. Rare but serious 1. What are the most common side effects of gabapentin? The most common side effects of gabapentin are dizziness and drowsiness, which can impact driving and other activities. Less frequent but still notable side effects include peripheral edema, hypertension, and, in rare cases, cardiomyopathy. 2. Can gabapentin cause blood clots? Background Gabapentin and pregabalin are commonly prescribed medications to treat pain in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Gabapentin and pregabalin can cause fluid retention, which is hypothesized to be associated with cardiovascular diseases. However, whether long-term use of gabapentin and pregabalin is associated with adverse cardiovascular diseases remains unknown. This study aims to Research suggests that gabapentin may be associated with an increased risk of blood clots, specifically deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, though more research is ongoing. If you have a history of blood clots or risk factors, talk to your doctor. Purpose of Review The objective of this manuscript is to describe the cardiovascular effects of the gabapentinoids gabapentin and pregabalin. Recent Findings The most frequent adverse effects of gabapentin and pregabalin affect the central nervous system, such as somnolence and fatigue. Additionally, pregabalin, and a much lesser extent, gabapentin, may adversely affect the cardiovascular Some side effects of gabapentin may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. The authors reported about gabapentin side effects: “perioperative gabapentin use was associated with modestly increased risk of delirium, new antipsychotic use, and pneumonia but not with in-hospital death among adults aged 65 years or older after major surgery. If our results are generalizable, increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, along with other side effects, the efficacy of pain control and the degree of tolerance of the patient, should inform the decision-making process when prescribing gabapentin, pregabalin, and perhaps other medications that cause fluid retention. Common Side effects of Gabapentin. The most common Gabapentin Side Effects encountered are generally mild and only self limiting for a short while. These include: Drowsiness; Dizziness; Fatigue; Nausea; Joint pain; Gabapentin side effects generally subside after first initial days of treatment, and do not generally warrant cessation of treatment. However, elderly patients are more likely to have unwanted effects (eg, problems with balance or walking, swelling in the feet or legs) and age-related kidney problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving gabapentin. Abstract. Gabapentin (GBP), a GABA analogue, is primarily used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of partial seizures and neuropathic pain. Whereas a majority of the side effects are associated with the nervous system, emerging evidence suggests there is a high risk of heart diseases in patients taking GBP. Can gabapentin cause blood clots? Yes, studies have linked gabapentin use with an increased risk of blood clots, including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). 4. So if you experience symptoms of edema, such as unusual swelling, let your prescriber know. And if you experience painful swelling that’s warm to the touch or red, this may be a sign that you have a blood clot. Blood clots aren’t caused by gabapentin and can be serious. Seek medical attention right away if you experience this. 4. Weight gain Studies have indicated a slightly increased risk of blood clots, such as deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, in individuals taking gabapentin. If you experience any symptoms suggestive of a blood clot, such as pain, swelling, or shortness of breath, seek immediate medical attention. In patients with diabetic neuropathy who were prescribed gabapentin and pregabalin, there is an increased risk for heart failure, myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular disease, stroke, deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism with long-term use. Our findings suggest that increased risk fo Gabapentin, a medication often prescribed for neuropathic pain and seizure disorders, has gained attention for its potential side effects. Among these, the possibility of blood clots has raised questions in both medical communities and among patients.
