  • Answers to frequently asked questions.

Lyrica is not effective for two types of generalized seizures called absence and myoclonic seizures. Lyrica, which is closely related to Neurontin, may even worsen absence and myoclonic seizures, so people with these types of seizures should not take Lyrica.

Also, people who are allergic to pregabalin or other ingredients in Lyrica should not take it.
