Does Gabapentin Raise Blood Pressure Level?
Question: Does gabapentin raise your blood pressure?
Brief Answer:
Gabapentin use doesn't raise blood pressure.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
No, gabapentin use doesn't raise blood pressure (but the contrary is true).
One of the side effects of gabapentin use is that it lower blood pressure (hypotensive effect). Even that this isn't very often this should be kept in mind during treatment because interaction may occur (with other antihypertensive drugs).
Hope this was of help!
