Does Gabapentin Interact With Percocet?

I take 100 mg gabapentin and was given a 3 days dose of 10/325 percocet after my recent hip surgery. Are there any significant interactions since the gabapentin is such a low dose? I take 100 mg gwba 3 times a day and was give just one percocet a day for the next three days. Just curious. My pain management drs are of the greatest and ignored my hip problem along I ll they said..we will out your mind at ease. Your hip pain is from uir back! Wrong! Within 3 days of MRI I was having hip surgery to shave my femur and now my leg is in the best position finally roe the first time in 45 years. I ask cause they just said oops sorry. So I have little faith in them.

Hello,

Not really. First, Gabapentin has a very high safety threshold and does not lower respiratory function. second, it is an anti-epileptic without interaction with addiction. Third 100 three times a day is a low dose.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
