How to read the information
- Capsule vs. tablet: Most gabapentin brands are capsules, but some generic manufacturers produce tablets (especially in the U.S. and Europe).
- Liquid formulation: Gralise is the only FDA‑approved liquid form. Other liquid gabapentin products are often sold as “generic” preparations.
- Strengths: 100 mg is the lowest common strength; 300 mg and 600 mg capsules are used for higher‑dose regimens. Some brands offer 200 mg capsules for intermediate doses.
- Packaging: In the U.S., the “Lyrica” name is protected by trademark, but generic‑style versions of the same name (e.g., “Lyrica 100 mg” from a non‑Pfizer manufacturer) are legally available.

Quick fact check
- Lyrica was approved by the U.S. FDA in 2004 and has remained the most recognizable brand worldwide.
- Neurontin is a brand name that is also commonly used as the generic name for gabapentin because it was originally marketed under the same name before Lyrica’s emergence.
- Gralise was approved in 2020 as the first oral liquid gabapentin, specifically to address dosing flexibility in children or patients who cannot swallow pills.
