In patients experiencing clinically significant hyponatremia, i.e. symptomatic hyponatremia leading to hospitalization, after recent initiation of carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, valproate or levetiracetam, an alternative treatment could be lamotrigine or gabapentin. Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are the most common antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) associated with hyponatremia. 1,21 Recently, other AEDs, such as eslicarbazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam and gabapentin, have also been reported to induce hyponatremia. 43 In fact, older adults on valproic acid, phenytoin or topiramate have a Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur while taking gabapentin: More common in children. 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. Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are the most common antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) associated with hyponatremia. 1,21 Recently, other AEDs, such as eslicarbazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam and gabapentin, have also been reported to induce hyponatremia. 43 In fact, older adults on valproic acid, phenytoin or topiramate have a hig Severe hyponatremia with sodium serum levels below 120 mEq/L did not occur. Clinically relevant hyponatremia affected only 6 of 127 patients under OXC (5%). Symptomatic hyponatremia was reported markedly more frequently in the study of Berghuis and coworkers (2017). We suggest that the alertness for potential adverse events was different. When taking gabapentin, there are steps you can take to lower the risk of hyponatremia. Eating a balanced diet with enough sodium is key. Eating foods high in sodium is important for keeping electrolytes balanced. Child 6–11 years 10 mg/kg once daily (max. per dose 300 mg) on day 1, then 10 mg/kg twice daily (max. per dose 300 mg) on day 2, then 10 mg/kg 3 times a day (max. per dose 300 mg) on day 3; usual dose 25–35 mg/kg daily in 3 divided doses, some children may not tolerate daily increments; longer intervals (up to weekly) may be more appropriate, daily dose maximum to be given in 3 divided Gabapentin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels and is used for a wide variety of indications both Food and Drug Administration approved and off-label.1-3 It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat postherpetic neuralgia and epilepsy4 with common off-label indications including Gabapentin and pregabalin are less likely to cause hyponatremia, although a few isolated cases have been reported. The association between CBZ, OXC, and hyponatremia dates back to the 1970s and 1980s, with varying reported incidences across different studies [ 17 , 18 ]. The most frequent electrolyte disorder in hospitalized patients is hyponatremia [1]. The clinical spectrum in hyponatremia ranges from mild, non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, headache, and gait instability to life-threatening symptoms such as seizures, coma and ultimately death, secondary to brain oedema [2,3]. Pharmaceutical drugs, e.g., thiazide diuretics, antidepressants and Expert opinion: Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are the most common AEDs which induce hyponatremia in patients with epilepsy. Recently, other AEDs, such as eslicarbazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam and gabapentin have also been reported to cause hyponatremia. Background. Gabapentin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels and is used for a wide variety of indications both Food and Drug Administration approved and off-label. 1-3 It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat postherpetic neuralgia and epilepsy 4 with common off-label indications including fibromyalgia, anxiety, mood disorders, and Hyponatremia has repeatedly been associated with carbamazepine therapy. 30-35 Carmabazepine can induce hyponatremia by increasing ADH release from the neurohypophysis. Hyponatremia is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Ondansetron, and have Stress and anxiety. Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are the anticonvulsants most commonly reported to be associated with hyponatremia in patients with epilepsy, although other anticonvulsants, such as eslicarbazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, and gabapentin, have also been reported to cause hyponatremia . The corresponding association for phenytoin and valproate was moderate. The risk for hyponatremia was lower during ongoing treatment. Lamotrigine and gabapentin had the lowest risk both during initiation and ongoing treatment and may be advantageous in patients at risk of developing hyponatremia. Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are the anticonvulsants most commonly reported to be associated with hyponatremia in patients with epilepsy, although other anticonvulsants, such as eslicarbazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, and gabapentin, have also been reported to cause hyponatremia . In humans, hyponatremia has been associated with dopaminergic agents. 4 An 85-year-old woman with Parkinson disease developed hyponatremia and SIADH after treatment with pramipexole, a dopamine agonist used as anti-Parkinson therapy. 5 Hyponatremia has been noted with the use of levodopa-carbidopa. 4 In another report, hyponatremia also has A Review of Drug-Induced Hyponatremia George Liamis, MD, Haralampos Milionis, MD, and Moses Elisaf, MD Hyponatremia (defined as a serum sodium level 134 mmol/L) is the most common electrolyte abnormality in hospitalized patients. Certain drugs (eg, diuretics, antidepressants, and antiepileptics) Signs of Gabapentin-Induced Hyponatremia. Gabapentin-induced hyponatremia is a serious condition that can have potentially dangerous consequences if left untreated. It is essential to recognize the signs and symptoms of this condition to ensure prompt medical intervention. Some common signs of gabapentin-induced hyponatremia include: 1. Nausea
