The big difference between
Horizant and regular gabapentin in my mind is the alleged increased bioavailability (rather than the timed-release aspect). It's still gabapentin, so I don't know that comparison with
Lyrica would be any different.
I think the whole idea was to squeeze another patent or 3 out of what is now a generic medication. As Lyrica approaches patent expiration, I won't be surprised if they suddenly announce new timed release and more bioavailable versions of that (as well as some new 3G medication).
