A member asked:
What medications for peripheral neuropathy are safest for someone with reduced kidney function (gfr = 38, all other kidney tests are normal)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TCA: Gabapentin (neurontin) may be less risky at low doses, otherwise a tricylclic like amytriptyline or nortriptyline often is effective. Nucynta , a narcotic analgesic recently received fda indication for neuropathic pain, and also may work at a low dosage.
