Introduction

Pregabalin is a prescription medicine used to treat nerve pain, fibromyalgia, epilepsy, and generalized anxiety disorder. It works by calming overactive nerves in the brain and nervous system, helping reduce pain, seizures, and anxiety symptoms.

Pregabalin should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It may be taken with or without food. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and follow your doctor’s instructions regarding timing and duration of treatment.

• Neuropathic pain (nerve pain) caused by diabetes, shingles, or spinal injury
• Fibromyalgia (widespread musculoskeletal pain)
• Epilepsy (as adjunctive therapy for partial seizures)
• Generalized anxiety disorder (in certain cases, as prescribed)
