Gabapentin Renal Dose Adjustment Calculator

Adjust gabapentin dosing for renal impairment based on creatinine clearance to prevent CNS toxicity, excessive sedation, and respiratory depression from accumulation of this 100% renally excreted drug.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Adjust gabapentin dosing for renal impairment based on creatinine clearance to prevent CNS toxicity, excessive sedation, and respiratory depression from accumulation of this 100% renally excreted drug

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Creatinine clearance — The creatinine clearance recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the gabapentin renal dose result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the creatinine clearance for the scenario you are assessing. Adjust gabapentin dosing for renal impairment based on creatinine clearance to prevent CNS toxicity, excessive sedation, and respiratory depression from accumulation of this 100% renally excreted drug. Use the gabapentin renal dose result to inform your calculation.
