Regnite

Regnite (Gabapentin Enacarbil) is an anticonvulsant medicine indicated for the treatment of RLS (restless-leg syndrome) which is moderate to severe in nature. It may help to reduce the sensory symptoms of this neurological disorder that can often occur at night (such as a general feeling of discomfort and a repeated urge to move the body), which in turn leads to improved rest. Some patients have also used this drug for PHN (Postherpetic neuralgia) and neuropathic pain. When used to relieve pain caused by the conditions listed here, it is believed to act by decreasing the amount of glutamate (a neurotransmitter) from being released in the brain.

If you are being treated for idiopathic restless leg syndrome or postherpetic neuralgia with Regnite (Gabapentin Enacarbil) tablets, full dosage and administration instructions will be given to you by your physician. In some cases, the dosage prescribed by physicians for restless leg syndrome is 600mg (2 tablets) taken as a single dose once daily. The medicine is usually taken in the evening. Treatment of PHN may require different dosage instructions. It is worth noting that the correct dosage can vary for each patient, and patients must only administer the amount of medicine that their physician prescribes.
