Gabapentin Side Effect #8: Viral Infections
Viruses are a constant threat. They are on the surfaces we touch, the food that we eat and even in the air that we breathe. Fortunately, we have strong lines of defense to protect us but should our defenses be affected, we can become more prone to developing infections.
People that are using gabapentin are more likely to develop viral infections than those that are not. While these infections should be treated, some drugs can react adversely with gabapentin so you should always check with a doctor first. Some patients can find that the frequency of infections can deter them from using the drug.
