Pregabalin showed superior results compared to gabapentin in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at various time intervals up to 12-14 weeks (SMD -0.47, 95% CI -0.74 to -0.19). Gabapentin and pregabalin are analogs of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and share a similar mechanism of action, although they differ in some aspects. Both drugs bind to the α2δ subunit of calcium channels in neurons, but pregabalin exhibits greater affinity and potency in its binding (5, 6). Pregabalin and gabapentin share a similar mechanism of action, inhibiting calcium influx and subsequent release of excitatory neurotransmitters; however, the compounds differ in their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. Gabapentin is absorbed slowly after oral administration, with m Guidance and evidence to support best practices in rotating between gabapentinoids is lacking. This retrospective cohort study was performed to describe and evaluate strategies for rotation. Patients rotated while admitted from June 1st, 2014 to April 25th, 2020 at a large, academic medical center w Pregabalin (PGB) and gabapentin (GBP) are recommended as the first-line treatment for neuropathic pain due to SCI [18,19]. Both drugs have been shown to be effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain due to postherpetic neuralgia [20–26] and diabetic peripheral neuropathy [24–29]. Gabapentin and pregabalin are members of a class of anti-convulsive and anti-epileptic drugs called gabapentinoids. Gabapentin was first approved in 1993 and pregabalin followed in 2004. They’ve been widely prescribed to treat certain types of pain as well. Conditions gabapentin and pregabalin are approved to treat include: The authors concluded that pregabalin, at a dose of 450mg daily, was most likely to be effective in treating patients with fibromyalgia, but adverse events were not negligible. Further evidence was necessary to clarify these conclusions. Both gabapentin and pregabalin are also effective treatments, with pregabalin recommended at a dose of 300 mg to 600 mg daily resulting in a significant reduction in pain scores (Juhn et al., 2015). Pregabalin suppresses the activity of excitatory primary afferent fibers that carry nociceptive information to the spinal dorsal horn (Biggs et al This is the first trial aimed at comparing gabapentin with pregabalin in NLBP. Although the results are preliminary, in our pilot study pregabalin was found to be superior in pain reduction, gabapentin demonstrated better effect on anxiety, insomnia and fatigue symptoms. The gabapentinoids, gabapentin, and pregabalin, target the α2δ subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels. Initially licensed for pain and seizures, they have become widely prescribed drugs. Many of these uses are off-label for psychiatric This randomized clinical trial of pregabalin vs gabapentin in 18 patients with chronic sciatica found that gabapentin was superior to pregabalin with greater reduction of leg pain intensity and fewer adverse events. Gabapentin and pregabalin are drugs of potential abuse. Pregabalin is a controlled drug in the US, gabapentin is controlled in some states and both will become controlled drugs in Great Britain in April 2019.

Gabapentin (Neurontin 1) and pregabalin (Lyrica 2) are first- and second-generation α2δ ligands, respectively, and are both approved for use as adjunctive therapy in pain control. Although they do not bind to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors they have been successfully used to treat neuropathic pain conditions. Prescription rates for gabapentinoids are rising in England. Pregabalin is currently recommended by NICE for the treatment of anxiety. Gabapentinoids have some overlap with the action of benzodiazepines, and have similar issues with tolerance, dependence, addiction and withdrawal. They were schedule Keywords: Gabapentin, pregabalin, pain management, adverse effects, pharmacology. Introduction. The gabapentinoid drugs gabapentin and pregabalin are antiepileptic drugs that are considered as first-line treatments for the management of neuropathic pain. 1 Pregabalin is also approved for generalised anxiety disorders in the United Kingdom. The This study provides information at the general population level concerning the magnitude of pregabalin, gabapentin and duloxetine misuse and its consequences. The profile of misusers includes young age, use of multiple prescribers, painful or psychiatric comorbidities and treatment with methadone. Gabapentin and pregabalin are being massively prescribed for neuropathic pain of all kinds of etiologies. However, if these medications are combined or if given in a high dose, they can lead to adverse effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, weakness, and somnolence. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsive medication that received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1993 and has been available in generic form in the USA since 2004. Gabapentin was originally used as a muscle relaxant and an anti-spasmodic. However, it was later discovered that gabapentin has the potential of an anticonvulsive medication and can be used as an adjunct to more
