Take gabapentin for pain. 1) is it an opioid? 2) could it have caused recent bowel blockage? 93 yrs of age

Gabapentin: Gabapentin is not an opioid. Constipation is an occasional side effect. Your pharmacist can give you specific information about this medication,however. Don't discontinue it without discussing this with his physician.
