Here is wikipedia:

Gingival Enlargement
Quote:
Gingival enlargement may also be associated with the administration of three different classes of drugs, all producing a similar response:.[8]
* anticonvulsants (such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, lamotrigine, valproate, vigabatrin, ethosuximide, topiramate and primidone)[9]
* calcium channel blockers, such as nifedipine and verapamil. The dihydropyridine derivative isradipidine can replace nifedipine and does not induce gingival overgrowth.[9]
* cyclosporine, an immunosuppresant.[9]
