Can gabapentin drugs cause a serious skin allergy?
It isnt one of the listed side effects, see link for details
Reply:Gabapentin's most common side effects in adult patients include dizziness, drowsiness, and peripheral edema (swelling of extremities). Children 3–12 years of age were also observed to be susceptible to mild-to-moderate mood swings, hostility, concentration problems, and hyperactivity. An increase in formation of adenocarcinomas was observed in rats during preclinical trials, however the clinical significance of these results remains undetermined.
Reply:the reason for taken gabapentin could be the cause some illnesses have skin related problems
Reply:you say that you were taking it,if you are not taking it n ow perhaps the rash is being caused by something else, try eliminating things that you think might cause it.New soap or washing powder,being in contact with any animal's, worn a new top etc
Reply:you could be allergic to the drug. is this the first time you've taken it? there is a test called the scratch test wherein the doc specifically an allergologist doctor will scratch several things on the skin and it will determine food, medication and all allergies. it really helps for allergic persons. then he will give a maintainance medication that to take in case any allergic reaction will arise. :-) allergies could be dangerous but they are very manageable once you know what you are allergic too. :-) God bless you. you should get this test. it's usually available on with an allergologist doctor and in some hospitals too.
