IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND INDICATIONS

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Expand

LYRICA may cause serious, even life-threatening, allergic reactions. Stop taking LYRICA and call your healthcare provider right away if you have any signs of a serious allergic reaction. Some signs are swelling of your face, mouth, lips, gums, tongue, throat, or neck, if you have any trouble breathing, or have a rash, hives, or blisters.

LYRICA may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very small number of people, about 1 in 500. This can happen while you take LYRICA or after stopping. Patients, family members, or caregivers should call the healthcare provider right away if they notice suicidal thoughts or actions, thoughts of self-harm, or any unusual changes in mood or behavior. These changes may include new or worsening depression, anxiety, restlessness, trouble sleeping, panic attacks, anger, irritability, agitation, aggression, dangerous impulses or violence, or extreme increases in activity or talking. If you have suicidal thoughts or actions, do not stop LYRICA without first talking to your healthcare provider.

Serious breathing problems can occur when LYRICA is taken with other medicines that can cause severe sleepiness or decreased awareness, or when it is taken by someone who already has breathing problems. Watch for increased sleepiness or decreased breathing when starting LYRICA or when the dose is increased. Get help right away if breathing problems occur.

LYRICA may cause swelling of your hands, legs, and feet, which can be serious for people with heart problems.

LYRICA may cause dizziness and sleepiness. You should not drive or work with machines until you know how LYRICA affects you. Also, tell your healthcare provider right away about muscle pain or problems along with feeling sick and feverish, or any changes in your eyesight, including blurry vision, weight gain, feeling “high,” or if you have any kidney problems or get dialysis.

Tell your healthcare provider immediately if you are taking opioid painkillers (such as oxycodone), or medicines for anxiety (such as lorazepam) or insomnia (such as zolpidem). You may have a higher chance for dizziness, sleepiness, or serious breathing problems if these medicines are taken with LYRICA. Taking LYRICA with opioid pain medicines may lead to death.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take. You may have a higher chance for swelling and hives if you are also taking angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. You may have a higher chance of swelling of your hands or feet or gaining weight if you are taking rosiglitazone or pioglitazone for diabetes. Do not drink alcohol while on LYRICA. You may have a higher chance for dizziness and sleepiness if you take LYRICA with alcohol, narcotic pain medicines, or medicines for anxiety.

Before you start LYRICA, tell your healthcare provider if you are planning to father a child, if you are pregnant, or plan to become pregnant. Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking LYRICA. If you have had a drug or alcohol problem, you may be more likely to misuse LYRICA.

In studies, a specific type of blood vessel tumor was seen in mice. The meaning of these findings in humans is not known.

Do not stop taking LYRICA without talking to your healthcare provider. If you stop suddenly, you may have headaches, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, increased sweating, or you may feel anxious. If you have epilepsy, you may have seizures more often.

The most common side effects of LYRICA in adults are dizziness, blurry vision, weight gain, sleepiness, trouble concentrating, swelling of your hands and feet, and dry mouth.

The most common side effects of LYRICA in children are weight gain, increase in appetite, and sleepiness.

If you have diabetes, you should pay attention to your skin while taking LYRICA and tell your healthcare provider about any sores or skin problems.

Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of LYRICA. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
