NEURONTIN costs a pharmacy a median of $8.87 per unit. Its generic equivalent costs $0.0410, which makes the brand 216.1 times the price of the same molecule. That is what the pharmacy pays to acquire it. It is not your price: a dispensing fee and margin sit between this number and your receipt.
Most drugs are bought at close to a single price. NEURONTIN is not: between the cheapest tenth of listings and the dearest, it varies by 5.7 times. That is the unusual case where calling two pharmacies can change what you pay, and it outranks every other consideration on this page.

This sits in the middle of the corpus, the range where where-you-fill-it genuinely changes the total.
Acquisition cost per unit, CMS's own correspondence
$8.87 against $0.0410. The generic bar is drawn to scale, which is why it is barely visible at 216.1x. CMS publishes this correspondence per product, so it is a comparison of the same thing rather than a match on names.
Between the cheapest tenth of listings and the dearest tenth, NEURONTIN varies by 5.7 times. That is a wide band, and it means the same product genuinely costs different pharmacies different amounts. It is one of the cases where calling around can change the number.
Every figure here is CMS NADAC, the federal survey of what retail pharmacies pay to acquire a drug. It is public-domain federal data and it is the cleanest available floor. It excludes your dispensing fee, your pharmacy's margin, your insurance design and any discount-card pricing, all of which sit between this number and what you hand over. Nothing here is medical advice.
