Nerves damaged
by diabetes can
send too many
signals that
cause pain.
Lyrica is believed
to help calm
the
damaged nerves* -
reducing the signals
and the pain.
Unlike some common over-the-counter pain relievers, Lyrica is FDA approved
specifically to treat the shooting, stabbing, burning sensations of diabetic
nerve pain. Lyrica is believed to help calm the damaged nerves+ and help ease
this pain - and that’s a deal worth seeking out.
Ask your doctor if Lyrica can help you.

Exact mechanism of action and relevance to humans are unknown as studies were conducted on animal models.
Prescription Lyrica is not for everyone. Tell your doctor right away about any serious allergic reaction that causes
swelling of the face, mouth, lips, gums, tongue or neck or affects your breathing or your skin. Also tell your doctor
about any changes in your eyesight, including blurry vision, muscle pain along with a fever or tired feeling, skin sores
due to diabetes or if you are planning to father a child. Some of the most common side effects of Lyrica are dizziness
and sleepiness. Others are weight gain, blurry vision, dry mouth, feeling “high,"swelling of hands and feet and trouble
concentrating. You may have a higher chance of swelling, hives or gaining weight if you are also taking certain diabetes
or high blood pressure medicines. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how Lyrica affects you. Do not
drink alcohol while taking Lyrica. Be especially careful about medicines that make you sleepy. If you have had a drug or
alcohol problem, you may be more likely to misuse Lyrica. Talk with your doctor before you stop taking Lyrica or any
other prescription medication.
