Contraindications for the Use of Gabapentin Actavis and Nucleo C.M.P in Metformin-Controlled Diabetic Patients - Abstract
Gabapentin can cause mild disorders of blood glucose due to an unknown mechanism of action. Because of the lack of data in the medical literature, it is difficult to define the true incidence or causality of gabapentin-induced hyperglycemia.
Key message: Gabapentin can cause mild disorders of blood glucose due to an unknown mechanism of action. In the absence of other factors, clinicians can accept gabapentin as a contributing factor to glucose fluctuations. Based on these principles, insulin therapy should be modified.
