Yes, it is generic for Neurontin and is used for any type of nerve damage. It is the most safe drug on the market and it works by blocking the signal going to the brain that tells the brain you are in pain. When you have a back injury, almost always the sciatica nerve become involved and damaged thereby making it necessary that you use Neurontin
Yes, Neurontin is a brand name for gabapentin.
However, all gabapentin 300mg capsules won't necessarily be the Neurontin brand as generic brands are available as well.
Yes it is generic but when I had a seizure my doc discontinued neurontin which was cool with me cause of the bad taste and didnt feel like it was doing much as I am on oxy 60 2 times daily and percs 4 times daily but any way its strange how some meds affect some and not others so be careful all
