Evaluation of discharge prescribing after rescheduling of gabapentin as a controlled substance

CONCLUSION: Gabapentin prescribing practices did not differ before and after rescheduling of gabapentin as a controlled substance. There was a trend toward dosages with reduced daily MME for concomitant opioid prescriptions after rescheduling. However, additional investigation with larger studies over longer periods of time is needed to discover whether gabapentin rescheduling significantly changes prescribing practices.PMID:34282825 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxab293
