Dosing and titration of Gabitril
Adults and children over 12 years of age often begin by taking 4 mg per day. This amount can be increased by 8 to 16 mg per day each month, to a maximum of 32 mg to 56 mg per day, divided into two to four doses. (Although Gabitril can be give up to four times a day, studies have shown that the same total daily dose can be just as effective in controlling seizures when given twice a day.)
Therapeutic blood levels have not been established, and assays are of limited value because of the short half-life of Gabitril.
