Good day Pam. There are so many generic names for one medication. The best is to look it up on google.

Sorry. my old thick red neck head has no idea what this means

gabapentin : U.S. uses and UK;

Ok, I just read more of this thread. I think the easiest way would be to just google it yourself like Louise Oliver said if you really need to know what the drug is for.

Me, neither. I usually quote the name on the prescription bottle, and then say it is generic for the brand name. Is that what you mean?
