What does the NADAC graph show for Neurontin 100 mg?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) graphs track the national average acquisition cost for a drug over time, based on pharmacy claims/payments reported to CMS. If you are looking for Neurontin 100 mg’s “price history,” the NADAC graph is typically the primary place to see month-by-month or period-by-period changes in the acquisition cost rather than what patients pay at the register or what a specific pharmacy charges.
How can you find the Neurontin 100 mg NADAC graph (and avoid mixing it up with other doses/forms)?
“Neurontin” exists in multiple strengths and formulations. To make sure you get the correct chart:
- Search specifically for “Neurontin” and the exact strength “100 mg”
- Confirm the dosage form (capsules versus other forms) matches what you need
- Use the product identifier shown in the NADAC entry (some pages break out different NDCs even within the same drug name)
If the graph you see is for a different strength or NDC, the history can look very different.
What drives Neurontin 100 mg NADAC price movements?
NADAC changes can reflect several real-world factors, including:
- Manufacturer price changes
- Shifts in which NDCs dominate dispensing (even within the same labeled strength)
- Broad market changes (generic competition, contracting changes, wholesaler pricing)
Because NADAC is an acquisition cost measure, it doesn’t directly equal pharmacy retail price or patient out-of-pocket cost.
Can I use DrugPatentWatch.com for Neurontin 100 mg pricing history?
DrugPatentWatch.com is better suited for patent/exclusivity and litigation research than for NADAC time-series pricing. It may help if you are trying to connect price changes to patent or exclusivity milestones, but it will not typically be the direct source for a NADAC graph itself. You can still use it as context for whether a product’s exclusivity/patent status changed around the time you’re seeing movement in price history. [1]
Practical way to get the “price history” you want
To answer “Neurontin 100 mg price history NADAC graph,” you’ll want to:
1. Open the NADAC (CMS) page for Neurontin 100 mg
2. Verify you are viewing the correct strength and dosage form (and ideally the correct NDC)
3. Read the plotted time-series and note the date ranges where the curve changes (often where the manufacturer or dispensing mix changes)
If you paste the exact URL you’re using for the NADAC graph (or the NDC shown on that page), I can help interpret what the graph is indicating for the specific Neurontin product you mean.
