What is Horizant?

Horizant is an extended-release formulation of Horizant enacarbil—a prodrug of Horizant—specifically approved for moderate-to-severe restless legs syndrome (RLS) and postherpetic neuralgia. It's designed to provide more consistent Horizant levels throughout the day than immediate-release formulations, reducing the fluctuations that can cause symptom breakthrough. Taken once daily with food in the early evening for RLS, it works by calming overactive nerve signaling in the spinal cord and brain that drives the uncomfortable urge-to-move sensations characteristic of restless legs.

Sustained Horizant delivery

Horizant's prodrug design allows for more predictable and consistent absorption than standard Horizant, producing steadier blood levels and more reliable symptom control throughout the day and night.

Nerve signal calming

Binds to voltage-gated calcium channels in neurons, reducing abnormal nerve excitability in the spinal cord and brain that produces the uncomfortable, irresistible urge-to-move sensations of restless legs syndrome.

RLS-specific approval

Unlike other Horizant formulations that are used off-label for RLS, Horizant is specifically FDA-approved for this indication—supported by clinical trial data demonstrating meaningful improvements in RLS symptom severity and sleep quality.
