Why is Gabapentin Prescribed and How to Buy Gabapentin Online?

Gabapentin capsules, tablets, and oral solution are used to help control certain types of seizures in people who have epilepsy. Gabapentin capsules, tablets, and oral solution are also used to relieve the pain of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN; the burning, stabbing pain or aches that may last for months or years after an attack of shingles).

Gabapentin extended-release tablets (Horizant) are used to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS; a condition that causes discomfort in the legs and a strong urge to move the legs, especially at night and when sitting or lying down). Gabapentin is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants.

Gabapentin treats seizures by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Gabapentin relieves the pain of PHN by changing the way the body senses pain. It is not known exactly how gabapentin works to treat restless legs syndrome.

How should Gabapentin be Used?

Gabapentin comes as a capsule, a tablet, an extended-release (long-acting) tablet, and an oral solution (liquid) to take by mouth. Gabapentin capsules, tablets, and oral solution are usually taken with a full glass of water (8 ounces [240 milliliters]), with or without food, three times a day.

These medications should be taken at evenly spaced times throughout the day and night; no more than 12 hours should pass between doses. The extended-release tablet (Horizant) is taken with food once daily at about 5 PM. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take gabapentin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Gabapentin extended-release tablets cannot be substituted for another type of gabapentin product. Be sure that you receive only the type of gabapentin that was prescribed by your doctor. Ask your pharmacist if you have any questions about the type of gabapentin you were given.

Swallow the extended-release tablets whole; do not cut, chew, or crush them.

If your doctor tells you to take one-half of a regular tablet as part of your dose, carefully split the tablet along the score mark. Use the other half-tablet as part of your next dose. Properly throw away any half-tablets that you have not used within several days of breaking them.

If you are taking gabapentin to control seizures or PHN, your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of gabapentin and gradually increase your dose as needed to treat your condition. If you are taking gabapentin to treat PHN, tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve during your treatment.

Gabapentin may help to control your condition but will not cure it. Continue to take gabapentin even if you feel well. Do not stop taking gabapentin without talking to your doctor, even if you experience side effects such as unusual changes in behavior or mood.

If you suddenly stop taking gabapentin tablets, capsules, or oral solution, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, nausea, pain, and sweating. If you are taking gabapentin to treat seizures and you suddenly stop taking the medication, you may experience seizures more often. Your doctor may decrease your dose gradually over at least a week.

Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer’s patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with gabapentin and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website (http://www.fda.gov/Drugs) or the manufacturer’s website to obtain the Medication Guide.

What special precautions should I follow?

Before taking gabapentin,

• tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to gabapentin, any other medications, or any of the inactive ingredients in the type of gabapentin you plan to take. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the inactive ingredients.
• you should know that gabapentin is available in different forms that may be prescribed for different uses. Ask your doctor to be sure that you are not taking more than one product that contains gabapentin.
• tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: hydrocodone (in Hydrocet, in Vicodin, others), medications that make you feel dizzy or drowsy, morphine (Avinza, Kadian, MSIR, others), and naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprosyn, others). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
• if you are taking antacids such as Maalox or Mylanta, take them at least 2 hours before you take gabapentin tablets, capsules, or solution.
• tell your doctor if you have or have ever had kidney disease. If you will be taking the extended-release tablets, also tell your doctor if you need to sleep during the day and stay awake at night.
  tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking gabapentin, call your doctor.
• if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking gabapentin.
• you should know that this medication may make you drowsy or dizzy, may slow your thinking, and may cause loss of coordination. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this medication affects you, and your doctor agrees that it is safe for you to begin these activities.
• if you are giving gabapentin to your child, you should know that your child’s behavior and mental abilities may change while he or she is taking gabapentin. Your child may have sudden changes in mood, become hostile or hyperactive, have difficulty concentrating or paying attention, or be drowsy or clumsy. Have your child avoid activities that could be dangerous, such as riding a bicycle, until you know how gabapentin affects him or her.
• remember that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this medication.
• you should know that your mental health may change in unexpected ways and you may become suicidal (thinking about harming or killing yourself or planning or trying to do so) while you are taking gabapentin for the treatment of epilepsy, mental illness, or other conditions. A small number of adults and children 5 years of age and older (about 1 in 500 people) who took anticonvulsants such as gabapentin to treat various conditions during clinical studies became suicidal during their treatment. Some of these people developed suicidal thoughts and behavior as early as one week after they started taking the medication.

There is a risk that you may experience changes in your mental health if you take an anticonvulsant medication such as gabapentin, but there may also be a risk that you will experience changes in your mental health if your condition is not treated. You and your doctor will decide whether the risks of taking an anticonvulsant medication are greater than the risks of not taking the medication. You, your family, or your caregiver should call your doctor right away if you experience any of the following symptoms: panic attacks; agitation or restlessness; new or worsening irritability, anxiety, or depression; acting on dangerous impulses; difficulty falling or staying asleep; aggressive, angry, or violent behavior; mania (frenzied, abnormally excited mood); talking or thinking about wanting to hurt yourself or end your life; withdrawing from friends and family; preoccupation with death and dying; giving away prized possessions; or any other unusual changes in behavior or mood. Be sure that your family or caregiver knows which symptoms may be serious so they can call the doctor if you are unable to seek treatment on your own.

Use only the brand and form of gabapentin that your doctor has prescribed. Check your medicine each time you get a refill at the pharmacy, to make sure you have received the correct form of this medication. Do not stop taking Gabapentin unless your doctor tells you to. If your treatment is stopped it should be done gradually over a minimum of 1 week.  If you stop taking gabapentin suddenly or before your doctor tells you, there is an increased risk of seizures.

Gabapentin Dosage

Gabapentin is often titrated to effect and, as a result, doses can vary from person to person and can change over time. Most commonly prescribed as capsules or tablets, examples of available dosages include:

• 100mg
• 300mg
• 400mg
• 600mg
• 800mg

Gabapentin is also available as a liquid, often used in children to prevent seizures.

Gabapentin Dosage for Nerve Pain

The exact way that gabapentin helps with nerve pain is not known, but it may change the way the body senses and reacts to pain. For neuralgia or nerve pain, gabapentin is often started at 300 mg daily and increased by 300 mg per day until pain relief is achieved. Some studies show doses of 1200 mg or more per day is effective for nerve pain.

Gabapentin Dosage for Anxiety

Used in combination with other medications, gabapentin is sometimes helpful for anxiety. While there is limited information for this use, there are some examples where it has been helpful. In one instance, doses of at least 900 mg per day were shown to be helpful in a patient with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) whereas severe symptoms of anxiety returned at doses less than 600 mg per day.

Gabapentin Dosage for Seizures

Gabapentin seems to slow signaling between the brain and the body, but its exact mechanism for preventing seizures is not known. Typically, gabapentin is started at 300 mg three times per day for this use and slowly increases. Over the long term, doses totaling up to 2400 mg per day have been well tolerated. For short periods, as much as 3600 mg divided throughout the day has been used.

Gabapentin Dosage for Restless Leg Syndrome

Similar to the way gabapentin may be helpful in preventing seizures by slowing signals between the brain and the body, gabapentin may also be helpful for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). For RLS, gabapentin enacarbil 600mg, under the brand name Horizant, is taken each evening and can be slowly increased to effect.

Gabapentin Dosing tips

Gabapentin is one of the rare psychiatric meds with “nonlinear pharmacokinetics.” That means serum levels start to plateau after a certain dose and rise sluggishly from there. For gabapentin, that dose is 900 mg. At 900 mg, 540 mg of the drug is absorbed; at 1200 mg, only 564 mg is absorbed; and at 2400 mg, a measly 816 mg makes it into the bloodstream. This slowdown occurs because the transporters that absorb gabapentin are easily saturated at higher doses (the prodrug Horizant was developed to overcome this limitation, but it does so at a cost).

Gabapentin is excreted entirely by the kidneys, which means it avoids hepatic drug interactions, but the dose needs to be lowered as creatinine clearance (CC) declines, a common problem in older patients. The usual dose range of 900–3600 mg/day is lowered to 400–1400 mg/day for a CC of 30–59 mL/min, 200–700 mg/day for a CC of 15–29 mL/min, and 100–300 mg/day for a CC below 15 mL/min (such patients usually require dialysis).

With a six-hour half-life, gabapentin can be divided three times daily for anxiety disorders and dosed at bedtime for sleep disorders. When stopping the medication, taper gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms, which are rare and include tremor, sweating, restlessness, insomnia, and a lower threshold for seizures

How to take Gabapentin ?

• Before starting this treatment, read the manufacturer’s printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about Gabapentin and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you may experience from taking it.
• Take Gabapentin exactly as your doctor tells you to. There are several different strengths of Gabapentin tablets and capsules available, and you could be prescribed more than one strength.
• You will be advised to take a low dose when you first start taking Gabapentin, and then to increase the dose over a few days. This is to allow your body to get used to it. Most people take three doses a day once they are on a regular maintenance dose. Your doctor will explain all this to you, and the dosing directions will be printed on the label of the pack. If you are still unsure about how to take your doses, ask your pharmacist to advise you.
• You can take Gabapentin before or after food. Swallow the tablets/capsules with a drink of water. If you have been supplied with oral liquid medicine, see the instructions below for using the oral dosing syringe.
• Once you are taking a regular amount of Gabapentin, try to take your doses at the same times each day. This will help you avoid missing doses.
• If you do forget to take a dose, take one as soon as you remember. Try to take the correct number of doses each day, but do not take two doses at the same time.
• If you need to take an antacid or indigestion remedy, do not take it during the two hours before or the two hours after you take Gabapentin. This is because antacids reduce the amount of Gabapentin that your body absorbs.

Instructions for Using the Dosing Syringe with Gabapentin Rosemont Oral Solution

1. 1. Remove the bottle cap, and push the syringe adaptor into the top of the open bottle.
   2. Insert the syringe into the adapter.
   3. Turn the bottle (with the syringe connected to it) upside down.
   4. Gently pull out the plunger of the syringe so that the solution fills the syringe to the mark which corresponds to your dose.
   5. Turn the bottle the correct way up again, and remove the syringe from the bottle.
   6. Put the tip of the syringe into your mouth, and gently push the plunger so that the liquid is released into your mouth.
   7. Replace the bottle cap. Wash the syringe with water after each use.

Getting the Most From Your Treatment

• Try to keep your regular appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can check on your progress.
• When you first start a new treatment for epilepsy there may be a change in the number or type of seizures you experience. Your doctor will advise you about this. If you are a woman and want to have a family, make sure that you discuss this with your doctor before you become pregnant. This is so that you can be given advice about your treatment from a specialist.
• People with epilepsy must stop driving. Your doctor will advise you about when it may be possible for you to start driving again. This will usually be after a year free of seizures.
• A small number of people have developed mood changes or thoughts about suicide whilst being treated with anti-epileptics. If this happens to you, you must tell your doctor about it straightaway.
• If you buy any medicines, always check with a pharmacist that they are suitable to take with your other medicines.
• You must take gabapentin regularly every day. Stopping treatment suddenly can cause problems. If it becomes necessary for the treatment to stop, your doctor will want you to reduce your dose over a few days.

How to Store Gabapentin

• Keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and light. Do not store in the bathroom.
• Once a bottle of Gabapentin Rosemont Oral Solution has been opened it will keep for one month. Do not use it after this time, and make sure you have a fresh supply.
