The Renal Drug Handbookhas developed into an essential resource for nephrologists, specialist nurses and pharmacists engaged in the care of these patients. As the field moves forward so also do the therapeutic opportunities, and pitfalls. Fortunately successive editions of the handbook have kept pace with these advances - the present Fifth Edition includes over 900 drug monographs, each The study resulted in a renal risk medication quick guide consisting of 50 commonly used medications across healthcare sectors. Based on data from the Renal Drug Database and Pro.medicin.dk, recommendations for prescribing adjustments due to impaired renal function are listed for each medication in the quick guide. View gabapentin information, including dose, uses, side-effects, renal impairment, pregnancy, breast feeding, monitoring requirements and important safety information. It is essential that a patient's renal function is taken into account when prescribing and reviewing medication. Doses often need to be reduced in renal impairment to prevent accumulation and toxicity. Examples of drugs that should be reduced in renal impairment are the gabapentinoids: gabapentin and pregabalin. Table 1 shows maximum recommended dose of gabapentin in renal impairment: Table 2 The Renal Drug Handbookhas developed into an essential resource for nephrologists, specialist nurses and pharmacists engaged in the care of these patients.

Renal dose adjustments for gabapentin and pregabalin are ubiquitously evident in the medical literature. All manufacturers for these branded and generic dosage forms list dosing recommendations relative to creatinine clearance (CrCl) for both medications (Table 1). 1,2 However, the basis of these recommendations has not been well articulated. SPS and other information resources can help healthcare professionals provide advice on medicines in renal impairment. This handbook provides detailed drug information to assist healthcare professionals to safely dose medications in patients with kidney disease. It is also available online which I suspect will extend the readership from predominantly renal pharmacists to other groups. The Preface outlines how to use the monographs and basic drug dosing advice including valuable information on the use of Kidney disease alters the pharmacokinetic disposition of many medications, requiring dosage adjustment to maintain therapeutic serum concentrations. The Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation is used for pharmacokinetic studies and drug dosage adjustments, but the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation is more accurate and more often reported by clinical laboratories than the CG Geriatrics and Renal Impairment: Due to the primarily renal excretion of TEVA-GABAPENTIN, the following dosage adjustments are recommended for elderly patients with declining renal function, patients with renal impairment and patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Gabapentin is a medication used to manage nerve pain (e.g., postherpetic neuralgia), restless leg syndrome, and seizures. Available as gabapentin capsules or extended-release tablets, it calms overactive nerves.
