Who makes Neurontin (gabapentin) today?
Neurontin is the brand name for gabapentin. The original branded product was marketed by Pfizer.
In the U.S., Neurontin is not typically the form most people think of when buying gabapentin now, because multiple generic gabapentin products are widely available from different manufacturers.
What company manufactures Neurontin in the U.S.?
For the U.S. market, Neurontin’s brand-holder/manufacturer has historically been Pfizer, and today Neurontin products are generally tied to Pfizer’s branded line while many stores carry gabapentin generics made by other companies.
If it’s not Pfizer, how can I check who the “manufacturer” is on my bottle?
The most reliable way is to check the drug label on your specific package. Look for:
- “Manufactured for” or “Distributed by” (often the label may list a marketing/distribution company even when the product is made by a contract manufacturer)
- The company name and address printed on the packaging
- The National Drug Code (NDC), which you can use to identify the exact product/labeler
