Apo Gabapentin should not be stopped suddenly, as seizures may return. If you feel it is necessary to stop Apo Gabapentin, discuss the most appropriate schedule with your doctor.
It is important that Apo Gabapentin be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is less than 4 hours until your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. To prevent breakthrough seizures, no more than 12 hours should pass between doses. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
