Lyrica 75 mg

Product Description

Lyrica 75 mg is a medication used to treat nerve pain by calming overactive nerves caused by nerve damage (neuropathic pain) due to diabetes, shingles (herpes zoster infection), spinal cord injury, or other conditions. It can also be used to treat epilepsy by preventing and managing seizures, as well as fibromyalgia-related muscle pain and stiffness.

Lyrica 75mg Capsule contains pregabalin, a potent active ingredient that targets the root causes of epilepsy and anxiety disorders. By stabilizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain, Lyrica 75mg Capsule is an antiepileptic medication that helps prevent and regulate seizures (fits), giving epilepsy patients much-needed confidence. It is also used to alleviate nerve and muscular discomfort.

Benefits of Lyrica Capsule

Lyrica 75 MG capsule is a prescription medication classified as an anticonvulsant. It is used to relieve long-term (chronic) pain caused by nerve damage from diabetes, shingles, or spinal cord injury. It alleviates pain and its related symptoms, such as mood swings, sleep disturbances, and fatigue. The medicine works by binding to a specific type of calcium channel in the nervous system, reducing the release of neurotransmitters associated with pain and convulsions. This medication, taken daily, will improve your physical and social functioning, as well as your general quality of life. It takes a few weeks to work, so take it regularly, even if you don’t think it is helping. After your symptoms have resolved, you should still keep taking the medicine until your doctor advises you to stop.

Lyrica 75mg may also be used to treat pain in people with fibromyalgia. It is used to treat chronic conditions that produce long-term, widespread muscle discomfort and tenderness, difficulty sleeping, tenderness, trouble sleeping, and overwhelming tiredness. Lyrica is not an antidepressant. Rather, it is a drug that targets nerve signals that travel through the brain. Keep taking the medication until your doctor tells you to stop.

Interaction with Lyrica 75 mg

Taking Lyrica with any of the following drugs can change the impact of either one and induce some unwanted side effects.

Opioids: Concurrent use of opioids with Lyrica may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and respiratory depression. Caution is advised when combining these medications, and your healthcare provider may need to adjust your dosage accordingly.

Sleep Medications: Combining Lyrica with sleep medications, such as benzodiazepines or sedatives, can intensify sedative effects and increase the risk of drowsiness and impaired coordination. Avoid combining these medications unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider.

Gabapentin (Neurontin): Gabapentin is another medication used to treat nerve pain and seizures. Taking Lyrica and gabapentin together may increase the risk of side effects, including dizziness and drowsiness. Your healthcare provider may need to monitor you closely if you are taking both medications.

Buprenorphine and Naloxone (Suboxone): Concurrent use of Lyrica with buprenorphine and naloxone, medications used to treat opioid dependence, may increase the risk of central nervous system depression and respiratory depression. Your healthcare provider will need to monitor you closely if you are taking these medications together.

Thiazolidinediones: Thiazolidinediones, medications used to treat diabetes, may increase the risk of peripheral edema (swelling of the hands, legs, or feet) when taken with Lyrica. Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your dosage or monitor you for signs of fluid retention.

Hydroxyzine (Vistaril): Hydroxyzine, an antihistamine medication, may enhance the sedative effects of Lyrica, leading to increased drowsiness and impaired coordination. Avoid combining these medications unless directed by your healthcare provider.
