The dosage form in Gralise allows for better absorption of the gabapentin. Normally the Neurontin form is poorly absorbed so very large doses are needed.

From what I have read online in the past the suggested doses for Garalise are MUCH lower than for regular gabapentin. Also because of the better absorption rate, taking too high a dose may cause more side effects, so be careful driving or operating machines.
