Could Neurotin 300mg Intake Cause Rash Like Side Effects?

I have been on Neurotin 300mg twice daily for over 2months and within the last week have developed a rash on the inner arms where the elbow bends. It itches and when scratch will get larger in size, but also within the last 2 days having right lower jaw pain. Could this be for the medication even tho I have been on it longer than 2 months?

Hello,

Yes, it may cause skin rash, fever, swollen glands, flu-like symptoms, muscle aches, severe weakness, unusual bruising, or yellowing of your skin or eyes. This reaction may occur several weeks after you began using gabapentin (neurotin). Please consult with your treating doctor, he will examine and treat you with alternative medication.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
