Product Overview
About LYRICA
LYRICA is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient PREGABALIN, used to treat various conditions, including epilepsy, fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and generalized anxiety disorder. It works by affecting the way that nerves send messages to your brain.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of epilepsy with partial seizures
- Treatment of fibromyalgia
- Treatment of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, spinal cord injury, and postherpetic neuralgia
- Treatment of generalized anxiety disorder
Active Ingredient & Action
PREGABALIN, the active ingredient in LYRICA, is a structural analog of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It binds to the alpha2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system, which reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and stabilizes neuronal membranes, resulting in a decrease in neuronal excitability and a reduction in the transmission of pain signals.
Important Notes
LYRICA should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It may cause dizziness, drowsiness, and blurred vision. Patients should avoid operating heavy machinery or driving until they are aware of how LYRICA affects them. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any medical history, including kidney disease, heart problems, or a history of substance abuse.
