What’s The Difference Between The Medications Neurontin And Lyrica?
I have seen advertisements for lyrica (or pregabalin) and heard it’s just a stronger form of Neurontin or (gabapentin).
It’s also in the control class while gabapentin is not.Does anyone know the major difference if any?
Comments
pregabalin are related to gabapentin. Neurontin has few side effects which include sleepiness, dizziness, unsteady gait, fatigue and eye twitching.Gabapentin appears to be relatively safe and has not been shown to interact with other drugs except for it’s potential of added sedation. Gabapentin may interfere with the reading of N- Multistix in detecting urine protein. Whereas,Alcohol and drugs that cause sedation may increase the sedative effects of pregabalin.The most common side effects of pregabalin are dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, edema (accumulation of fluid), blurred vision, weight gain, and difficulty concentrating. Other side effects include peripheral edema, reduced blood platelet counts, and increased blood creatinine kinase levels. Increased creatinine kinase could be a sign of muscle injury, and in clinical trials three patients experienced rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle injury).
