Who should not take Lyrica?

New comprehensive downloadable medication sheet
  • Additional information on this drug and how to use it.
  • A starting point for discussion with your doctor.
  • Answers to frequently asked questions.

Lyrica is not effective for 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.
