Neurontin is useful in treating partial seizures in children. But absence seizures, which are also common, can be made worse, so a correct diagnosis is very important.

To keep side effects at a minimum, the doctor probably will prescribe a low dose of Neurontin to start and increase it slowly. It is usually given in 3 equal doses.

 

Parents and doctors need to watch for problems with behavior, emotions, or concentration in children. These problems are uncommon, but if they occur they can interfere with the child’s development and school performance.
