Brief Answer:
Urinary incontinence can be caused by the agent

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM

I have gone through your query. Urinary incontinence is one the very infrequently seen side effect with gabapentine use.

Dose alteration or even other option can be considered after examination. So I would suggest you to see the consultant who has prescribed these agent and inform about the symptom.

Hope this helps, I'll be glad to answer your further query.
Take care.
