Lyrica is classified as an anticonvulsant, but its primary use is in treating nerve pain and fibromyalgia. The 75 mg dose is often used as a starting dose, allowing for adjustments depending on the patient’s response.
Mechanism of Action: Lyrica 75 works by binding to calcium channels in the nerve cells. This reduces the release of certain neurotransmitters, such as glutamate and norepinephrine, which are responsible for transmitting pain signals. By dampening these signals, Lyrica reduces the intensity of the pain experienced.
