LYRICA is believed to calm overactive nerves.
Although healthcare providers don’t know exactly how LYRICA works, non-clinical studies suggest LYRICA helps calm overactive nerves by binding to the calcium channel on the nerve cell. This changes how the nerve cell functions by helping reduce the release of neurotransmitters, chemicals that nerves use to communicate.
The reduction of neurotransmitters may slow pain signals that travel through your nerves. LYRICA may also help change the way your brain and spinal cord process these pain signals, which can make you feel less pain.
