Gabapentin/Neurontin update

[Guest guest]

Article states that gabapentin(neurontin) has been licensed for

treatment of neuropathic pain for over 2 years. I am not clear if this

is in the UK AND in the US, to my knowledge (and I may be out of date

here) I don't remember gabapentin/neurontin ever receiving licensing in

the US for treating neuropathic pain. If anyone knows, please let me

know and if you could send me the source, I would appreciate it. ~ G

Gretchen,

The pain management doctors that I professionally work with use Neurontin

all the time for neuropathic pain.
