How LYRICA Is Thought to Work

LYRICA® (pregabalin) capsules CV is believed to work within your body to calm the damaged or over-excited nerves that cause pain. Although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, results from animal studies suggest that LYRICA is believed to work by reducing the number of "extra" electrical signals that are sent out from damaged or over-excited nerves.

LYRICA is a medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). LYRICA may reduce the stabbing, burning, and shooting symptoms of Diabetic Nerve Pain or Pain after Shingles.
