How much does Neurontin (gabapentin) cost?
Neurontin pricing depends heavily on the dose (mg strength), the number of tablets/capsules per bottle, and whether you buy a brand-name or generic version. Costs can also vary by pharmacy and insurance coverage.

Brand-name Neurontin vs generic gabapentin: what’s the price difference?
In most markets, generic gabapentin is substantially cheaper than brand-name Neurontin. The exact savings vary by pharmacy and by whether you’re paying cash or using insurance, but the generic typically becomes the main price driver once it’s covered and stocked.
To get the best comparison, search by:
- your Neurontin/gabapentin strength (e.g., 100 mg, 300 mg, 600 mg, etc.)
- your pack size (e.g., 30, 90, 100 capsules/tablets)
- your ZIP code/pharmacy
What affects your out-of-pocket cost the most?
Your final price is usually shaped by:
- Insurance coverage (copay tier or prior authorization requirements)
- Pharmacy pricing (retail vs mail order)
- Whether you can use generic substitution
- Dose changes or different formulation (capsules vs tablets, extended vs immediate release, if applicable)
What’s a practical way to get the lowest price today?
Compare options at the pharmacy level:
- Ask if the pharmacy can dispense generic gabapentin instead of brand Neurontin.
- Check mail-order pricing if you have a benefit.
- Use the same strength/quantity when comparing across pharmacies so the comparison is apples-to-apples.
Want an exact estimate?
If you tell me the Neurontin strength (mg), form (capsules/tablets), quantity (how many per bottle), and your ZIP code (or country), I can help you narrow down what price range is most likely to apply and what to compare.
