A member asked:
Is kidney toxicity possible on low dose of 100mg neurontin being taken daily? my water intake is slightly on lesser side as i don't feel thirsty much so do i have to increase my water intake in this context? does neurontin increases creatinine ?

No, gabapentin (neurontin) does not cause acute or chronic kidney injury (nephrotoxicity).

Neurontin (gabapentin) potential side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, foot swelling, BUT there is no direct damage or toxicity potential to impair kidney function. Specifically, will not increase creatinine levels.
