Gabapentin and Systolic dysfunction - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Systolic dysfunction is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 50-59 old, also take Fluoxetine, and have Seizures.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Systolic dysfunction when taking Gabapentin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 313,421 people who have side effects when taking Gabapentin from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
