Hello,

Neurontin is a very good drug for spine-related back pain. You can safely continue Neurontin without many concerns. You can use the tablet only when there is a pain, no need to take the drug daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
