[Gabapentin]

Patient Info
Information for Patients

Patients should be instructed to take Neurontin ® only as prescribed. Patients should be advised that Neurontin ® may cause dizziness, somnolence and other symptoms and signs of CNS depression. Accordingly, they should be advised neither to drive a car nor to operate other complex machinery until they have gained sufficient experience on Neurontin ® to gauge whether or not it affects their mental and/ or motor performance adversely.

Patients who require concomitant treatment with morphine may experience increases in gabapentin concentrations. Patients should be carefully observed for signs of CNS depression, such as somnolence, and the dose of Neurontin ® or morphine should be reduced appropriately (see Drug Interactions).
