Pregabalin (Lyrica) is not used to treat seizures

Step-by-step explanation:

It is marketed with trade name lyrica, used as oral medication for neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia (pain for all over the body). It is sold as capsule, solution and extended release tablets. It also shows serious side effects. It also helps in treatment of spinal cord injury.

It can be taken with or without food. Sedative effect can be seen by the use of alcohol and drugs during medication. It binds to the channel of nerve and may release some neuro transmitters.
