What are the brand and generic names for gabapentin?

Gabapentin’s generic name is simply gabapentin. The brand-name versions include Gralise and Horizant, which are gabapentin-based medicines marketed for specific conditions and formulations [1][2].

Is gabapentin available as a brand product or only as generics?

Gabapentin is widely available as a generic medication under the name “gabapentin.” Brand-name gabapentin products exist too, but they are tied to particular formulations (for example, extended-release products) and indications, rather than being the same as the standard immediate-release generic [1][2].

What’s the difference between brand products like Gralise and Horizant and generic gabapentin?

Brand products such as Gralise and Horizant are formulated as extended-release gabapentin products, which affects dosing schedules and the type of prescription you get compared with many standard generic gabapentin products. Which one is appropriate depends on the condition being treated and the prescribing clinician’s choice [1][2].
