What does “NADAC” mean for Neurontin 300 mg, and where can I find the price history?
NADAC is the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost, a pharmacy cost benchmark published by the U.S. government. Price history for a specific strength/formulation (like Neurontin 300 mg capsules) is typically available through datasets that track NADAC over time.
To pull the exact NADAC time series for “Neurontin 300 mg capsule,” you need the product identifier used in NADAC reporting (often tied to the NDC for that exact package/label).
How can I get the Neurontin 300 mg NADAC price history (what to search for)?
The most reliable way is to search using the exact NDC for the specific Neurontin 300 mg capsule package size you mean. Many “Neurontin 300 mg” searches mix multiple NDCs (different manufacturers/pack sizes), which changes the NADAC value shown.
If you have the NDC, look for:
- a NADAC “price history” table or downloadable time series for that NDC
- the “monthly” or “quarterly” NADAC price entries (depending on the reporting frequency of that source)
What about total “capsule” price—does NADAC match what patients pay?
No. NADAC is an acquisition cost benchmark for pharmacies, not the final patient price at checkout. Patient cost depends on insurance, copays, pharmacy markups, dispensing fees, and benefit design. NADAC helps explain pharmacy-level cost trends but usually won’t match the out-of-pocket amount.
If you meant “Neurontin 300 mg price history on DrugPatentWatch,” is that the same as NADAC?
Not the same. DrugPatentWatch is best for patent/exclusivity and branded/generic timelines. NADAC is a cost benchmark dataset. They answer different questions, so it’s common to use both when researching pricing and market changes.

Quick check: do you mean branded Neurontin or generic gabapentin?
“Neurontin 300 mg” usually refers to the brand. NADAC data will differ between:
- branded Neurontin 300 mg capsules
- generic gabapentin 300 mg capsules (often multiple NDCs)
If you tell me whether you want branded Neurontin or generic gabapentin (and the package size or NDC), I can help you identify the correct NADAC series to use.
What I need from you to give the exact NADAC price history
Reply with one of the following:
- the exact NDC for the Neurontin 300 mg capsule package, or
- the package size (count) and manufacturer listed on the bottle, or
- whether you want branded Neurontin or a specific generic NDC
