Pregabalin goes by the brand name "Lyrica". It is similar to gabapentin or "neurontin" and is used for treatment of neuropathic pain, usually associated with fibromyalgia.

The name of the new fibromyalgia medicine?

Lyrica is being prescribed for fibromyalgia. Lyrica acts on GABA neurotransmission in the body, like Neurontin - increasing a person's threshold for pain. It should be noted that while Lyrica is being promoted for fibromyalgia, the study performed on Lyrica for the treatment of fibromyalgia did not have overwhelming positive results. The numbers were just enough that they could claim it was helpful. The company still chose to market Lyrica for the treatment of FMS because it gives them a further five years on their patent, so no other company can try and make a generic drug. Cymbalta has had more success with the treatment of fibromyalgia.
