  • Title: THROMBOCYTOPENIA WITH GABAPENTIN USAGE.
    Author: Atakli D, Yuksel B, Ak PD, Sariahmetoglu H, Sari H.
    Journal: Ideggyogy Sz; 2015 Jul 30; 68(7-8):270-2. PubMed ID: 26380421.
    Abstract:
    Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug approved for adjunctive therapy for partial seizures. We report a case of a patient who had thrombocytopenia with the dose of 2400 mg/day of gabapentin. The causal relationship between gabapentin and thrombocytopenia was revealed by dramatic increase in thrombocyte count following the cessation of the gabapentin treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first case report with a hematopoietic side effect of gabapentin.
