What is Lyrica?

Lyrica, also known by the generic name pregabalin, is a medication used to treat different types of nerve pain that can be caused by fibromyalgia, infections, postherpetic neuralgia, shingles, diabetes, or spinal cord injury. It is also an anti-epileptic medication that prevents seizures through slowing down the impulses in the brain that cause them.

Are there any specific instructions for taking Lyrica?

When providing either an online Lyrica prescription or an online pregabalin prescription, your doctor will clearly outline how to take it and the correct dosage to follow based on your age, severity of the condition, and any other medical conditions present. Other things to keep in mind are:

  • Aim to take Lyrica with food and at the same time every day
  • Swallow the tablet whole
  • Do not stop taking Lyrica until you have completed the entire course, even if symptoms have stopped
  • If you miss a dose and it has been longer than twelve hours than skip this dose, do not take extra medication to make up for it.
  • Avoid alcohol and marijuana

What warnings are associated with Lyrica?

There are several warnings a doctor will make you aware of when providing an online Lyrica prescription. These include:

  • Severe allergy warning (angioedema) characterized by finding it hard to breath, swollen tongue, throat, lips, or face.
  • Hypersensitivity which causes symptoms such as blisters, rash, hives, and skin redness.
  • Respiratory depression. Lyrica or pregabalin has been associated with depression in the central nervous system.
  • These medications can decrease sperm count and reduce fertility.

When should I speak to a doctor about Lyrica side effects?

How do I prepare for my online appointment?

  • Breathing issues
  • Diabetes
  • Heart problems

What will my online appointment be like?

Appointments usually take between five to thirty minutes depending on the individual need. The online doctor will ask for a description of your symptoms. This will allow them to determine the best course of treatment. If necessary, they may recommend a follow-up appointment or a visit to a physical clinic.
