AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
LYRICA (pregabalin) is an oral capsule medication approved in December 2004 that binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. It is indicated for neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and spinal cord injury.
