Reporting Groups

	Description
Gabapentin	The dosage of oral solution for subjects aged 3 to 12 years was calculated based on their body weight. The dose was titrated for the first 3 days of the treatment period. Subjects aged 3 to 4 years received gabapentin 10 mg/kg/day on Day 1, 20 mg/kg/day on Day 2 and 40 mg/kg/day from Day 3. Subjects aged 5 to 12 years received gabapentin 10 mg/kg/day on Day 1, 20 mg/kg/day on Day 2 and 25 to 35 mg/kg/day from Day 3. Subjects aged 13 to 15 years received gabapentin 600 mg/day on Day 1, 1200 mg/day on Day 2 and 1200 or 1800 mg/day from Day 3. After Day 3, the dose was adjusted if necessary within the range of maintenance doses. The maximum daily dose was 600 mg for Day 1, 1200 mg for Day 2, and 1800 mg for Day 3 and thereafter.
