Neurontin, also known as gabapentin, is used to treat partial seizures in adults and children. The drug's sales grew rapidly after Pfizer Inc. introduced it.
Today, Pfizer is under investigation in 47 States for illegally marketing Neurontin for non-FDA approved uses.
Patients who have used Neurontin for non-FDA approved use have been found to be at an elevated risk for serious side effects, including suicidal tendencies. The numbers of patients who have used Neurontin for treatment of a non-FDA approved use are estimated at an astounding 40% of all prescriptions. Neurontin remains on the market for its FDA approved purposes.
