Pregabalin (also called Lyrica) is a medicine that works in a similar way to gabapentin.
Like gabapentin, it’s taken for epilepsy and nerve pain. It can also be taken for anxiety. But there are differences between pregabalin and gabapentin.
Pregabalin can be taken less often and in different doses to gabapentin.
If you need to change to pregabalin, your doctor will explain how to swap safely from gabapentin.
