Lyrica (pregabalin) is a medication used to treat various conditions related to nerve pain. Some of the conditions it is used to treat include:
- Pain caused by nerve damage due to diabetes, shingles (herpes zoster) infection, or spinal cord injury.
- Fibromyalgia.
- Certain types of seizures (focal seizures) .
Lyrica works by slowing down impulses in the brain that cause seizures and affecting chemicals in the brain that send pain signals across the nervous system. It is available in different forms, including capsules and oral solution. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist when taking Lyrica, and to inform them of any other medications or health conditions you may have.
