Common Medication Linked to Increased Dementia Risk in Large-Scale Study

A new study suggests patients with chronic pain who receive

frequent gabapentin prescriptions may face a higher risk of dementia.

Those prescribed the drug six or more times had a 29%

increased risk, and 12+ prescriptions raised the risk to 40%.

The risk was highest in adults aged 35–49

. While the study shows a link—not causation—

experts recommend doctors

monitor cognitive health in long-term users.

Patients should not

stop gabapentin without medical advice.
