Likely all about the bucks. Last year the NHS had to go to court to stop Pfizer who wanted to prevent generics being used in the UK. So, I'm guessing prices are slowly decreasing as Pfizer loses it's grip?

I don't know about NHS pricing, but gabapentin is cheaper here at low doses, they nearly reach parity at 1,800mg (3 x 600mg) gabapentin compared to the equivalent 300mg (2 x 150mg) pregabalin and at higher doses pregabalin becomes progressively cheaper because of the gabapentin bioavailability issue.
