How many capsules wil you give per dose?
The Neurontin is prescribed at a dose of 200 mg three times a day. Since the available capsules are 100 mg each, you would need to give 2 capsules per dose to reach the prescribed dose of 200 mg.
To determine how many 100 mg capsules are needed for a 200 mg dose, you need to divide the dosage by the strength of each capsule.

So, 200 mg divided by 100 mg equals 2.
Therefore, you will need to give 2 capsules per dose.
