How LYRICA Is Thought to Work
Seizures begin in the brain, which is made up of millions of nerve cells. The nerve cells communicate with each other by releasing electrical signals. These signals carry information from one nerve cell to another. In people with epilepsy, overexcited nerve cells release too many electrical signals. This can cause seizures.
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® (pregabalin) capsules CV is a medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). LYRICA helps to treat partial onset seizures in adults with epilepsy who take 1 or more drugs for seizures.
