Gabapentin Absorption
Conventional gabapentin levels may be limited by saturation of its absorption pathway2 
Saturation of the transporters limits how much gabapentin reaches systemic circulation2- Saturation varies between individuals and therefore makes the bioavailability difficult to predict2,7
- Conventional gabapentin is thought to be absorbed in the upper small intestine via a low-capacity transporter2
Horizant® is not interchangeable with other gabapentin products.1
The clinical significance of the PK data for Horizant® and gabapentin is unknown.
