Depends on who you ask. Is it theirs? Your PCP's (who is supposed to coordinte the others)? The pharmacist's? Yours for not reading the literature that came with your prescription?
I don't know. I believe in fixing the problem -- not the blame.

Can folks recommend something else to help manage the constipation?

There are a lot of threads on just that question. It's one of the perennial ones, and not just for gabapentin. It's a
common (vs. unlikely) S/E of opioid pain medications too. Some folks use OTC remedies, and some can benefit from Yakima fruit paste (recipe in archives).
