Dosage and Administration

  • Administer orally, with or without food, in two or three divided doses.
  • The recommended daily dose range is 150 to 600 mg, according to the indication, individual response and tolerability.
  • Dose adjustment in patients with impaired renal function must be individualised according to creatinine clearance.

Benefits and Clinical Considerations

Rapid Absorption

Peak plasma concentrations occur within 1 hour after oral administration in the fasted state. Oral bioavailability is estimated to be ≥90% and is independent of dose.

Renal Elimination

Pregabalin is eliminated primarily by renal excretion as unchanged drug. Dose adjustment is required in renal impairment and after haemodialysis.

Safety and Precautionary Measures

Discontinuation

If pregabalin has to be discontinued, withdrawal should be gradual over a minimum of one week, independent of the indication.

Warnings and Precautions

Dizziness and somnolence may occur. Refer to the approved prescribing information for contraindications, warnings, precautions, adverse reactions and interactions.
