Is gabapentin brand or generic?

Gabapentin is available as both brand-name and generic.

- Brand name: Neurontin is the original brand. There are also other brand-name products for different formulations, like Gralise (extended-release gabapentin) and Horizant (gabapentin enacarbil, a prodrug for certain uses). These are not always interchangeable with standard gabapentin.
- Generic: Generic gabapentin is widely available from many manufacturers and is usually cheaper.

If you want to know what your prescription specifically is, check the label or ask your pharmacist. If cost is a concern, you can ask about substituting the generic version with your prescriber’s approval.
