For older adults, the use of gabapentin to manage pain after major surgery can lead to adverse events in the hospital.
Perioperative gabapentin has increasingly been added to analgesia regimens to reduce opioid use among surgical patients. But studies in JAMA Internal Medicine casts doubt on the drug’s benefit for people aged 65 years or older.

Thx
