So far, the use of gabapentin is relatively safe because most other relatively mild side effects, such mengatuk and dizziness. Therefore, the drug is also efficacious antikejang become the primary choice in elderly people aged 44-82 years.

However, because many elderly people use, the side effects on the ability to orgasm so more and more patients are reported. Research Professor Perloff revealed, 3 of 11 patients aged over 50 years experience anorgasmia after taking this drug.

Fortunately in men aged in their 30s and younger, these side effects can still be said to rarely happen. Since the drug was introduced in 1993, there were only 10 reports of side effects anorgasmia that occurs in male patients aged below 38 years.
