Tiagabine should be started at 5 mg twice per day.
The dose is gradually increased to the usual maintenance dose of 15-30 mg per day - although patients taking enzyme-inducing drugs may need more (30-45 mg per day) (1).
Doses should be taken three times per day when the total daily dose exceeds 30 mg. Taking food at mealtimes may reduce side-effects.
The summary of product characteristics must be consulted before prescribing this drug.
