Pfizer, the big drug company, applied to the FDA in October 2003 for final approval for the use of pregabalin as an add-on medication to treat partial seizures. It usually takes about a year for the final approval. In the meantime, your husband's doctor may be giving it as part of a study? Did you receive any information? Here is part of a press release from October 2003:"As reported at the annual meeting of the American Epilepsy Society in December 2001, Pregabalin was tested in hundreds of patients who were experiencing uncontrolled partial seizures (with or without secondary generalization) even though they were taking one to three other seizure medicines. (Half of the patients were taking two others.) For many of these difficult-to-treat patients, pregabalin reduced the number of seizures significantly (often by more than half) and the side effects were usually mild. When offered the opportunity to continue taking pregabalin at the conclusion of the double-blind study, a large majority of the patients chose to do so, and the pregabalin continued to work well after at least 8 months of use. A similar study in Europe had the same kind of results."You might try www.pfizer.com to see if there is any more information there.
