Gabapentin and pregabalin were used equally. The median age of users increased from 58\u2009years in 2010 to 63\u2009years in 2023, while a decline was observed in the proportion with concomitant use of other drug classes, including benzodiazepines or opioids. Only 7% of patients were continuously treated for 3 years following initiation, while 22% were currently treated after 3 years (allowing treatment breaks). The use of gabapentinoids were somewhat skewed with 1% of users accounting for 7.3% of use in 2023.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of gabapentinoids has increased dramatically in recent years, in particular, among the elderly, and adherence was low.
