Your doctor will determine the appropriate gabapentin dosage based on your individual needs and condition. Start with a low dose and gradually increase it as directed.
Typical starting doses range from 300 to 900 mg per day, divided into multiple doses. For example, a 900mg daily dose might be taken as 300mg three times a day.
- Dosage increases: Your doctor will usually increase your dose gradually, monitoring your response and side effects. Don’t adjust your dosage without consulting your physician. Maximum dose: The maximum daily dose can vary depending on the condition being treated, but generally doesn’t exceed 3600 mg.
Administration is usually oral, with tablets or capsules taken with or without food. However, always follow your doctor’s specific instructions.
Regular schedule: Maintain a consistent schedule for taking your medication. Missing doses can reduce effectiveness. Missed doses: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose. Storage: Store gabapentin at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
Remember to discuss any questions or concerns regarding your gabapentin dosage and administration with your doctor or pharmacist. They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific health situation.
