How does lyrica (pregabalin) work on nerve type pain ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti-seizure: Lyrica (pregabalin) is an anti-seizure medication. It decreases nerve firing. As a result it is often used for neuropathic pain conditions – ones that often have shooting for electric type symptomatology – such as sciatica. Hope this helps.
