Hi,

Neurontin is composed of 'gabapentin', which is used in adults to treat neuropathic pain. Common side effects of Neurontin include: ataxia, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, fever, nystagmus, and viral infection. Other side effects include: blurred vision, double vision (diplopia), peripheral edema, tremor, lazy eye (amblyopia), and dryness in mouth (xerostomia).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S.
