Pregabalin, sold under the brand name Lyrica among others, is an anticonvulsant, analgesic, and anxiolytic amino acid medication used to treat epilepsy, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, restless legs syndrome, opioid withdrawal, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). [13] [17] [18] Pregabalin also has antiallodynic properties.
The effectiveness of pregabalin and its older relative gabapentin against pain syndromes of this kind (which tend to respond poorly to other analgesic drugs) has led to their widespread use, and these drugs have subsequently been found to be useful for many other medical applications, including as anticonvulsants, muscle relaxants, anxiolytics ...
However, food has been found to substantially delay the absorption of pregabalin and to significantly reduce peak levels without affecting the bioavailability of the drug; T max values for pregabalin of 0.6 hours in a fasted state and 3.2 hours in a fed state (5-fold difference), and the C max is reduced by 25–31% in a fed versus fasted state ...
As a gabapentinoid, mirogabalin binds to the α 2 δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channel (1 and 2), but with significantly higher potency than pregabalin. It has shown promising results in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain .
Gabapentin at a low dose of 100 mg has a T max (time to peak levels) of approximately 1.7 hours, while the T max increases to 3 to 4 hours at higher doses. [85] Food does not significantly affect the T max of gabapentin and increases the C max and area-under-curve levels of gabapentin by approximately 10%.
Lyrica Nasha Anderson is an American R&B singer and songwriter. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] She is the daughter of singer and former Ikette Lyrica Garrett . [ 3 ] Anderson has appeared on the VH1 reality show Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood .
Amitriptyline, sold under the brand name Elavil among others, is a tricyclic antidepressant primarily used to treat major depressive disorder, and a variety of pain syndromes such as neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, migraine and tension headaches. [12]
Bioavailability is likely linear and dose-proportional over a dose range of 150 to 200 mg. [5] Concomitant intake of sertraline with food slightly increases sertraline peak levels and total exposure. [5] There is an approximate 2-fold accumulation of sertraline with continuous administration and steady-state levels are reached within one week. [5]
