Each subject will participate in six study periods in the bioavailability phase, wherein the subjects will receive a 300 milligram (mg) twice daily (BID) dosing of ezogabine modified release (MR) tablet in periods A, B, C, D and E and will receive 200 mg three times daily (TID) dosing of ezogabine immediate release (IR) tablet in period F. Following the completion of the crossover phase, subjects will be re-randomized to one of five cohorts receiving 600 mg doses of either G, H, I, J or K for the food effect phase.
