>From what I have read from a pdf file on Neurontin supplied by Parke-Davis < http://www.pfizer.com/hml/pi%27s/neurontinpi.pdf > bioavailability is not dose proportional but when you get up to 300-600mg t.i.d., there isn't a lot of decrease in bioavailability -- it is about 60%. If the body could only process 600mg at a time and bioavailability decreases markedly in higher doses (which they don't say it does, nor do they say that it doesn't), then I wonder why they make and why I am taking 800mg tablets.
