Chen C, Cowles VE, Hou E. Pharmacokinetics of gabapentin in a novel gastric-retentive extended-release formulation: comparison with an immediate-release formulation and effect of dose escalation and food. J Clin Pharmacol. 2011;51(3):346-358. Different forms of gabapentin (such as immediate-release, sustained-release, enacarbil sustained-release) are absorbed in the body differently.

Horizant® is not interchangeable with other gabapentin products, because of differing PK profiles.

Find patient medical information for Horizant (gabapentin enacarbil) on WebMD including its uses, side effects and safety, interactions, pictures, warnings, and user ratings When Horizant is taken for postherpetic neuralgia, the typical starting dose is 600 mg every morning with food for 3 days. Then, the dose is usually increased to 600 mg twice daily with food. If Horizant is prescribed for RLS, the usual dose is 600 mg once daily at around 5PM with food.

In the 12-week principal efficacy study, additional benefit of using doses greater than 1,200 mg a day was not demonstrated, and these higher doses resulted in an increase in adverse reactions Gralise Starter: 300 & 600 mg (78 ea) [contains soybean lecithin] Solution, Oral: Neurontin: 250 mg/5 mL (470 mL); 250 mg/5 mL (470 mL) [strawberry anise flavor] Generic: 250 mg/5 mL (473 mL); 300 mg/6 mL (6 mL); 250 mg/5 mL (5 mL, 6 mL, 470 mL) Tablet, Oral: Gralise: 300 mg [contains soybean lecithin] Gralise: 600 mg.
