Drug Info for horizant
Gabapentin capsules, tablets, and oral solution are used along with other medications to help control certain types of seizures in people who have epilepsy. Gabapentin capsules, tablets, and oral solution are also used to relieve the pain of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN; the burning, stabbing pain or aches that may last for months or years after an attack of shingles). Gabapentin extended-release tablets (Horizant) are used to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS; a condition that causes discomfort in the legs and a strong urge to move the legs, especially at night and when sitting or lying down). Gabapentin is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants. Gabapentin treats seizures by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Gabapentin relieves the pain of PHN by changing the way the body senses pain. It is not known exactly how gabapentin works to treat restless legs syndrome.
Horizant is an anticonvulsant drug that helps treat restless leg syndrome and pain following the contraction of shingles. There is not currently a generic version available on the market. The average Horizant cost is about $461 for one bottle of 30 tablets, extended-release. To help reduce this high Horizant cost, use OptionRx’s coupon at participating local pharmacies.
