🟢 SAFE — Gabapentin and Theophylline can be taken together safely.
Evidence level: MODERATE
Gabapentin and Theophylline are generally considered safe to use together. No adverse interactions have been reported in medical literature.
No clinically significant interaction between Gabapentin and Theophylline has been identified in medical literature.

Take Gabapentin at exactly the same times each day — consistency is critical for seizure control. Theophylline follows its prescribed schedule. Antiepileptics are potent enzyme inducers that can change how your body processes many other medications.
Higher risk for: those on multiple antiepileptics (enzyme induction/inhibition), liver impairment, elderly, pregnant individuals (teratogenicity concerns), or those with recent dose changes.
Monitor seizure control and medication side effects when combining Gabapentin with Theophylline. Watch for: increased seizure frequency, unusual drowsiness, dizziness, coordination problems, blurred or double vision, tremors, difficulty concentrating, or mood changes. Drug interactions can raise or lower antiepileptic blood levels. When to seek emergency help: Seizure lasting more than 5 minutes, clusters of seizures, difficulty breathing after a seizure, severe rash (especially with fever or blisters), severe dizziness or fainting, or signs of liver problems (yellowing skin, dark urine, severe nausea).
No urgent discussion needed, but keep your provider informed. Say: "I take Gabapentin alongside Theophylline — anything I should know?"
These medications are safe to take together at standard doses. Continue taking as prescribed and keep your pharmacist informed of your complete medication list.
