Which companies make gabapentin (brand and generic)?
Gabapentin is widely manufactured, with both brand-name products and many generic versions available. The exact manufacturer depends on the product strength, dosage form (capsules vs tablets), and the specific “NDC” listed on the package or in pharmacy systems.
Because manufacturers change over time and can differ by market and distributor, the most reliable way to identify the current makers for a specific gabapentin product is to check:
- the label/NDC on your bottle, or
- the listing in your pharmacy’s drug database, or
- manufacturer/distributor details shown for the specific product you’re buying.
How to find the manufacturer for the exact gabapentin you have
To pinpoint the manufacturer, look for one or more of the following on the prescription label or package:
- NDC number (most precise for identifying the exact product)
- the company name under “Manufactured for” / “Distributed by”
- the manufacturer line in the FDA/generic product listing associated with that NDC
If you share the strength (e.g., 100 mg, 300 mg, 600 mg), dosage form (capsule/tablet), and the NDC from the bottle, I can help you narrow down which company corresponds to that exact product.
Are there specific major gabapentin brand names?
Depending on the country and time period, gabapentin has been marketed under different brand names. In the U.S., many prescriptions are filled with generics rather than the original brand. If you tell me your country and the brand name (if any) on the label, I can align the manufacturer search to the right product.
What about “gabapentin makers” for generics—does DrugPatentWatch help?
DrugPatentWatch.com focuses mainly on patent and exclusivity information for drugs rather than maintaining a single definitive roster of all generic manufacturers at every moment. It can still be useful for understanding the broader IP landscape around gabapentin, which often correlates with which companies entered later or faced earlier exclusivity/patent constraints.
