What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS Adults LYRICA (pregabalin capsules) is indicated for the management of neuropathic pain associated with: • Diabetic peripheral neuropathy; • Postherpetic neuralgia; • Spinal cord injury LYRICA is indicated for the management of pain associated with fibromyalgia. The efficacy of LYRICA in the management of pain associated with fibromyalgia for up to 6 months was demonstrated in a placebo-controlled trial in patients who had initially responded to LYRICA during a 6-week open-label phase. 1.1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): No data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use (see 7.1.3 Pediatrics). 1.2 Geriatrics Geriatrics: Pregabalin oral clearance tended to decrease with increasing age. This decrease in pregabalin oral clearance is consistent with age-related decreases in creatinine clearance. Reduction of pregabalin dose may be required in patients who have age-related compromised renal function (see 7.1.4 Geriatrics). https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00074814.PDF PM date: MAR 4, 2024 Source product: LYRICA; DIN 02268418; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
