Summary: On this podcast episode, I discuss (Lyrica) pregabalin pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions, and much more. <br> <br> <br> <br> I compare pregabalin and gabapentin in this episode and one important difference is the percent absorption of gabapentin compared to pregabalin. <br> <br> <br> <br> Pregabalin can exacerbate the risk of respiratory depression and overdose in patients who are taking opioids. <br> <br> <br> <br> Pregabalin is most frequently used in practice for neuropathic pain syndromes.
