How does NEURONTIN work?
NEURONTIN is an antiepileptic that’s also used to help with nerve pain. It has a similar structure to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical in the brain that calms nerves. It’s not completely known how NEURONTIN works to treat seizures or nerve pain, but it’s thought to work by lowering the activation of nerves involved with causing nerve pain and seizures.

The dose of NEURONTIN is the same for the tablets, capsules, and liquid.
Nerve pain from shingles
- Adults: The typical starting dose is 300 mg by mouth once daily on Day 1, then 300 mg twice daily on Day 2, and then 300 mg three times daily starting on Day 3 and onwards. Your provider might raise your dose depending on your response. The maximum dose is 600 mg three times daily
Partial seizures

- Children age 3 to up to 12 years old: Your child’s provider will determine your child’s dose based on their age and weight.
