4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 

 

4.1 Therapeutic indications 

 
Neuropathic pain 

Pregabalin Pfizer is indicated for the treatment of peripheral and central neuropathic pain in adults.  

 

Epilepsy 

Pregabalin Pfizer is indicated as adjunctive therapy in adults with partial seizures with or without 
secondary generalisation. 

 

Generalised anxiety disorder 

Pregabalin Pfizer is indicated for the treatment of Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in adults.  

 



 4 

4.2 Posology and method of administration 
 

Posology 

The dose range is 150 to 600 mg per day given in either two or three divided doses. 

 

Neuropathic pain 

Pregabalin treatment can be started at a dose of 150 mg per day given as two or three divided doses. 
Based on individual patient response and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 300 mg per day 

after an interval of 3 to 7 days, and if needed, to a maximum dose of 600 mg per day after an 

additional 7-day interval. 

 

Epilepsy 
Pregabalin treatment can be started with a dose of 150 mg per day given as two or three divided doses. 

Based on individual patient response and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 300 mg per day 

after 1 week. The maximum dose of 600 mg per day may be achieved after an additional week. 

 

Generalised anxiety disorder 
The dose range is 150 to 600 mg per day given as two or three divided doses. The need for treatment 

should be reassessed regularly. 

 

Pregabalin treatment can be started with a dose of 150 mg per day. Based on individual patient 

response and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 300 mg per day after 1 week. Following an 

additional week the dose may be increased to 450 mg per day. The maximum dose of 600 mg per day 
may be achieved after an additional week. 

 

Discontinuation of pregabalin 

In accordance with current clinical practice, if pregabalin has to be discontinued, it is recommended 

this should be done gradually over a minimum of 1 week independent of the indication (see 
sections 4.4 and 4.8). 

 

Renal impairment 

Pregabalin is eliminated from the systemic circulation primarily by renal excretion as unchanged drug. 

As pregabalin clearance is directly proportional to creatinine clearance (see section 5.2), dose 
reduction in patients with compromised renal function must be individualised according to creatinine 

clearance (CLcr), as indicated in Table 1 determined using the following formula: 

 

 

Pregabalin is removed effectively from plasma by haemodialysis (50% of drug in 4 hours). For 

patients receiving haemodialysis, the pregabalin daily dose should be adjusted based on renal function. 

In addition to the daily dose, a supplementary dose should be given immediately following every 
4 hour haemodialysis treatment (see Table 1).

Hepatic impairment 

No dose adjustment is required for patients with hepatic impairment (see section 5.2).  
 

Paediatric population 

The safety and efficacy of Pregabalin Pfizer in children below the age of 12 years and in adolescents 

(12-17 years of age) have not been established. Currently available data are described in sections 4.8, 

5.1 and 5.2 but no recommendation on a posology can be made. 
 

Elderly 

Elderly patients may require a dose reduction of pregabalin due to a decreased renal function (see 

section 5.2). 

 

Method of administration 
Pregabalin Pfizer may be taken with or without food. 

Pregabalin Pfizer is for oral use only. 

 

4.3 Contraindications 

 
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1. 

 

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use 

 

Diabetic patients 
In accordance with current clinical practice, some diabetic patients who gain weight on pregabalin 

treatment may need to adjust hypoglycaemic medicinal products. 

 

Hypersensitivity reactions 

There have been reports in the postmarketing experience of hypersensitivity reactions, including cases 
of angioedema. Pregabalin should be discontinued immediately if symptoms of angioedema, such as 

facial, perioral, or upper airway swelling occur. 

 

Dizziness, somnolence, loss of consciousness, confusion and mental impairment 

Pregabalin treatment has been associated with dizziness and somnolence, which could increase the 

occurrence of accidental injury (fall) in the elderly population. There have also been postmarketing 
reports of loss of consciousness, confusion and mental impairment. Therefore, patients should be 

advised to exercise caution until they are familiar with the potential effects of the medicinal product.  

 



 6 

Vision-related effects 
In controlled trials, a higher proportion of patients treated with pregabalin reported blurred vision than 

did patients treated with placebo which resolved in a majority of cases with continued dosing. In the 

clinical studies where ophthalmologic testing was conducted, the incidence of visual acuity reduction 

and visual field changes was greater in pregabalin-treated patients than in placebo-treated patients; the 

incidence of fundoscopic changes was greater in placebo-treated patients (see section 5.1). 

 
In the postmarketing experience, visual adverse reactions have also been reported, including loss of 

vision, visual blurring or other changes of visual acuity, many of which were transient. 

Discontinuation of pregabalin may result in resolution or improvement of these visual symptoms.  

 

Renal failure 
Cases of renal failure have been reported and in some cases discontinuation of pregabalin did show 

reversibility of this adverse reaction. 

 

Withdrawal of concomitant anti-epileptic medicinal products 

There are insufficient data for the withdrawal of concomitant anti-epileptic medicinal products, once 
seizure control with pregabalin in the add-on situation has been reached, in order to reach 

monotherapy on pregabalin. 

 

Withdrawal symptoms 

After discontinuation of short-term and long-term treatment with pregabalin, withdrawal symptoms 

have been observed in some patients. The following events have been mentioned: insomnia, headache, 
nausea, anxiety, diarrhoea, flu syndrome, nervousness, depression, pain, convulsion, hyperhidrosis and 

dizziness, suggestive of physical dependence. The patient should be informed about this at the start of 

the treatment. 

 

Convulsions, including status epilepticus and grand mal convulsions, may occur during pregabalin use 
or shortly after discontinuing pregabalin. 

 

Concerning discontinuation of long-term treatment of pregabalin, data suggest that the incidence and 

severity of withdrawal symptoms may be dose-related. 

 
Congestive heart failure 

There have been postmarketing reports of congestive heart failure in some patients receiving 

pregabalin. These reactions are mostly seen in elderly cardiovascular compromised patients during 

pregabalin treatment for a neuropathic indication. Pregabalin should be used with caution in these 

patients. Discontinuation of pregabalin may resolve the reaction. 

 
Treatment of central neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury 

In the treatment of central neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury the incidence of adverse reactions 

in general, central nervous system adverse reactions and especially somnolence was increased. This 

may be attributed to an additive effect due to concomitant medicinal products (e.g. anti-spasticity 

agents) needed for this condition. This should be considered when prescribing pregabalin in this 
condition. 

 

Suicidal ideation and behaviour 

Suicidal ideation and behaviour have been reported in patients treated with anti-epileptic agents in 

several indications. A meta-analysis of randomised placebo controlled studies of anti-epileptic drugs 
has also shown a small increased risk of suicidal ideation and behaviour. The mechanism of this risk is 

not known and the available data do not exclude the possibility of an increased risk for pregabalin. 

 

Therefore patients should be monitored for signs of suicidal ideation and behaviours and appropriate 

treatment should be considered. Patients (and caregivers of patients) should be advised to seek medical 
advice should signs of suicidal ideation or behaviour emerge. 

 



 7 

Reduced lower gastrointestinal tract function 
There are postmarketing reports of events related to reduced lower gastrointestinal tract function (e.g. 

intestinal obstruction, paralytic ileus, constipation) when pregabalin was co-administered with 

medications that have the potential to produce constipation, such as opioid analgesics. When 

pregabalin and opioids will be used in combination, measures to prevent constipation may be 

considered (especially in female patients and elderly). 

 
Concomitant use with opioids 

Caution is advised when prescribing pregabalin concomitantly with opioids due to risk of CNS 

depression (see section 4.5). In a case-control study of opioid users, those patients who took pregabalin 

concomitantly with an opioid had an increased risk for opioid-related death compared to opioid use 

alone (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.68 [95% CI, 1.19 – 2.36]). This increased risk was observed at low 
doses of pregabalin (≤ 300 mg, aOR 1.52 [95% CI, 1.04 – 2.22]) and there was a trend for a greater risk 

at high doses of pregabalin (> 300 mg, aOR 2.51 [95% CI 1.24 – 5.06]). 

 

Misuse, abuse potential or dependence 

Cases of misuse, abuse and dependence have been reported. Caution should be exercised in patients 
with a history of substance abuse and the patient should be monitored for symptoms of pregabalin 

misuse, abuse or dependence (development of tolerance, dose escalation, drug-seeking behaviour have 

been reported).  

 

Encephalopathy 

Cases of encephalopathy have been reported, mostly in patients with underlying conditions that may 
precipitate encephalopathy. 

 

Lactose intolerance 

Pregabalin Pfizer contains lactose monohydrate. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose 

intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this 
medicinal product. 

 

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction  

 

Since pregabalin is predominantly excreted unchanged in the urine, undergoes negligible metabolism 
in humans (< 2% of a dose recovered in urine as metabolites), does not inhibit drug metabolism 

in vitro, and is not bound to plasma proteins, it is unlikely to produce, or be subject to, 

pharmacokinetic interactions. 

 

In vivo studies and population pharmacokinetic analysis 

Accordingly, in in vivo studies no clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions were observed 
between pregabalin and phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproic acid, lamotrigine, gabapentin, lorazepam, 

oxycodone or ethanol. Population pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that oral antidiabetics, diuretics, 

insulin, phenobarbital, tiagabine and topiramate had no clinically significant effect on pregabalin 

clearance. 

 
Oral contraceptives, norethisterone and/or ethinyl oestradiol 

Co-administration of pregabalin with the oral contraceptives norethisterone and/or ethinyl oestradiol 

does not influence the steady-state pharmacokinetics of either substance. 

 

Central nervous system influencing medical products 
Pregabalin may potentiate the effects of ethanol and lorazepam. 

 

In the postmarketing experience, there are reports of respiratory failure, coma and deaths in patients 

taking pregabalin and opioids and/or other central nervous system (CNS) depressant medicinal 

products. Pregabalin appears to be additive in the impairment of cognitive and gross motor function 
caused by oxycodone. 

 



 8 

Interactions and the elderly 
No specific pharmacodynamic interaction studies were conducted in elderly volunteers. Interaction 

studies have only been performed in adults. 

 

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation 

 

Women of childbearing potential/Contraception in males and females 
As the potential risk for humans is unknown, effective contraception must be used in women of child 

bearing potential. 

 

Pregnancy 

There are no adequate data from the use of pregabalin in pregnant women. 
 

Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). The potential risk for humans is 

unknown. 

 

Pregabalin Pfizer should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary (if the benefit to the 
mother clearly outweighs the potential risk to the foetus). 

 

Breast-feeding 

Pregabalin is excreted into human milk (see section 5.2). The effect of pregabalin on newborns/infants 

is unknown. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue 

pregabalin therapy taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for the child and the benefit of 
therapy for the woman. 

 

Fertility 

There are no clinical data on the effects of pregabalin on female fertility.  

 
In a clinical trial to assess the effect of pregabalin on sperm motility, healthy male subjects were 

exposed to pregabalin at a dose of 600 mg/day. After 3 months of treatment, there were no effects on 

sperm motility.  

 

A fertility study in female rats has shown adverse reproductive effects. Fertility studies in male rats 
have shown adverse reproductive and developmental effects. The clinical relevance of these findings 

is unknown (see section 5.3). 

 

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines 

 
Pregabalin Pfizer may have minor or moderate influence on the ability to drive and use machines. 

Pregabalin Pfizer may cause dizziness and somnolence and therefore may influence the ability to drive 

or use machines. Patients are advised not to drive, operate complex machinery or engage in other 

potentially hazardous activities until it is known whether this medicinal product affects their ability to 

perform these activities. 

 
4.8 Undesirable effects 

 

The pregabalin clinical programme involved over 8,900 patients exposed to pregabalin, of whom over 

5,600 were in double-blind placebo controlled trials. The most commonly reported adverse reactions 

were dizziness and somnolence. Adverse reactions were usually mild to moderate in intensity. In all 
controlled studies, the discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 12% for patients receiving 

pregabalin and 5% for patients receiving placebo. The most common adverse reactions resulting in 

discontinuation from pregabalin treatment groups were dizziness and somnolence. 

 

In table 2 below all adverse reactions, which occurred at an incidence greater than placebo and in more 
than one patient, are listed by class and frequency (very common (≥ 1/10); common (≥ 1/100 to 

< 1/10); uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100); rare (≥ 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000); very rare (< 1/10,000), not 



 9 

known (cannot be estimated from the available data). Within each frequency grouping, undesirable 
effects are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. 

 

The adverse reactions listed may also be associated with the underlying disease and/or concomitant 

medicinal products. 

 

In the treatment of central neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury the incidence of adverse reactions 
in general, CNS adverse reactions and especially somnolence was increased (see section 4.4). 

 

Additional reactions reported from postmarketing experience are included in italics in the list below.

After discontinuation of short-term and long-term treatment with pregabalin withdrawal symptoms 
have been observed in some patients. The following reactions have been mentioned: insomnia, 

headache, nausea, anxiety, diarrhoea, flu syndrome, convulsions, nervousness, depression, pain, 

hyperhidrosis and dizziness, suggestive of physical dependence. The patient should be informed about 

this at the start of the treatment. 

 

Concerning discontinuation of long-term treatment of pregabalin, data suggest that the incidence and 
severity of withdrawal symptoms may be dose-related. 

 



 11 

Paediatric population 
The pregabalin safety profile observed in four paediatric studies in patients with partial seizures with 

or without secondary generalisation (12-week efficacy and safety study in patients 4 to 16 years of 

age, n=295; 14-day efficacy and safety study in patients 1 month to younger than 4 years of age, 

n=175; pharmacokinetic and tolerability study, n=65; and 1 year open label follow on safety study, 

n=54) was similar to that observed in the adult studies of patients with epilepsy. The most common 

adverse events observed in the 12-week study with pregabalin treatment were somnolence, pyrexia, 
upper respiratory tract infection, increased appetite, weight increased, and nasopharyngitis. The most 

common adverse events observed in the 14-day study with pregabalin treatment were somnolence, 

upper respiratory tract infection, and pyrexia (see sections 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2). 

 

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions 
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It 

allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare 

professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system 

listed in Appendix V. 

 
4.9 Overdose 

 

In the postmarketing experience, the most commonly reported adverse reactions observed when 

pregabalin was taken in overdose included somnolence, confusional state, agitation, and restlessness. 

Seizures were also reported. 

 
In rare occasions, cases of coma have been reported. 

 

Treatment of pregabalin overdose should include general supportive measures and may include 

haemodialysis if necessary (see section 4.2 Table 1). 

 
 

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES 

 

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties 

 
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Anti-epileptics, other anti-epileptics ATC code: N03AX16 

 

The active substance, pregabalin, is a gamma-aminobutyric acid analogue 

[(S)-3-(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid].  

 

Mechanism of action 

Pregabalin binds to an auxiliary subunit (2- protein) of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central 

nervous system. 

 

Clinical efficacy and safety 

 
Neuropathic pain  

Efficacy has been shown in trials in diabetic neuropathy, post herpetic neuralgia and spinal cord 

injury. Efficacy has not been studied in other models of neuropathic pain. 

 

Pregabalin has been studied in 10 controlled clinical trials of up to 13 weeks with twice a day dosing 
(BID) and up to 8 weeks with three times a day (TID) dosing. Overall, the safety and efficacy profiles 

for BID and TID dosing regimens were similar. 

 

In clinical trials up to 12 weeks for both peripheral and central neuropathic pain, a reduction in pain 

was seen by Week 1 and was maintained throughout the treatment period. 

 
In controlled clinical trials in peripheral neuropathic pain 35% of the pregabalin treated patients and 

18% of the patients on placebo had a 50% improvement in pain score. For patients not experiencing 



 12 

somnolence, such an improvement was observed in 33% of patients treated with pregabalin and 18% 
of patients on placebo. For patients who experienced somnolence the responder rates were 48% on 

pregabalin and 16% on placebo. 

 

In the controlled clinical trial in central neuropathic pain 22% of the pregabalin treated patients and 

7% of the patients on placebo had a 50% improvement in pain score.  

 
Epilepsy 

Adjunctive Treatment 

Pregabalin has been studied in 3 controlled clinical trials of 12 week duration with either BID or TID 

dosing. Overall, the safety and efficacy profiles for BID and TID dosing regimens were similar.  
 

A reduction in seizure frequency was observed by Week 1. 

 

Paediatric population 
The efficacy and safety of pregabalin as adjunctive treatment for epilepsy in paediatric patients below 

the age of 12 and adolescents has not been established. The adverse events observed in a 

pharmacokinetic and tolerability study that enrolled patients from 3 months to 16 years of age (n=65) 

with partial onset seizures were similar to those observed in adults. Results of a 12-week 

placebo-controlled study of 295 paediatric patients aged 4 to 16 years and a 14-day placebo-controlled 
study of 175 paediatric patients aged 1 month to younger than 4 years of age performed to evaluate the 

efficacy and safety of pregabalin as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial onset seizures and a 

1 year open label safety study in 54 paediatric patients from 3 months to 16 years of age with epilepsy 

indicate that the adverse events of pyrexia and upper respiratory infections were observed more 

frequently than in adult studies of patients with epilepsy (see sections 4.2, 4.8 and 5.2). 

 
In the 12-week placebo-controlled study, paediatric patients (4 to 16 years of age) were assigned to 

pregabalin 2.5 mg/kg/day (maximum, 150 mg/day), pregabalin 10 mg/kg/day (maximum, 

600 mg/day), or placebo. The percentage of subjects with at least a 50% reduction in partial onset 

seizures as compared to baseline was 40.6% of subjects treated with pregabalin 10 mg/kg/day 

(p=0.0068 versus placebo), 29.1% of subjects treated with pregabalin 2.5 mg/kg/day (p=0.2600 versus 
placebo) and 22.6% of those receiving placebo. 

 

In the 14-day placebo-controlled study, paediatric patients (1 month to younger than 4 years of age) 

were assigned to pregabalin 7 mg/kg/day, pregabalin 14 mg/kg/day, or placebo. Median 24-hour 

seizure frequencies at baseline and at the final visit were 4.7 and 3.8 for pregabalin 7 mg/kg/day, 5.4 
and 1.4 for pregabalin 14 mg/kg/day, and 2.9 and 2.3 for placebo, respectively. Pregabalin 

14 mg/kg/day significantly reduced the log-transformed partial onset seizure frequency versus placebo 

(p=0.0223); pregabalin 7 mg/kg/day did not show improvement relative to placebo.  

 

Monotherapy (newly diagnosed patients) 

Pregabalin has been studied in 1 controlled clinical trial of 56 week duration with BID dosing. 
Pregabalin did not achieve non-inferiority to lamotrigine based on the 6-month seizure freedom 

endpoint. Pregabalin and lamotrigine were similarly safe and well tolerated. 

 

Generalised Anxiety Disorder 

Pregabalin has been studied in 6 controlled trials of 4-6 week duration, an elderly study of 8 week 
duration and a long-term relapse prevention study with a double-blind relapse prevention phase of 

6 months duration. 

 

Relief of the symptoms of GAD as reflected by the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) was 

observed by Week 1. 
 

In controlled clinical trials (4-8 week duration) 52% of the pregabalin treated patients and 38% of the 

patients on placebo had at least a 50% improvement in HAM-A total score from baseline to endpoint. 

 



 13 

In controlled trials, a higher proportion of patients treated with pregabalin reported blurred vision than 
did patients treated with placebo which resolved in a majority of cases with continued dosing. 

Ophthalmologic testing (including visual acuity testing, formal visual field testing and dilated 

funduscopic examination) was conducted in over 3600 patients within controlled clinical trials. In 

these patients, visual acuity was reduced in 6.5% of patients treated with pregabalin, and 4.8% of 

placebo-treated patients. Visual field changes were detected in 12.4% of pregabalin-treated, and 11.7% 

of placebo-treated patients. Funduscopic changes were observed in 1.7% of pregabalin-treated and 
2.1% of placebo-treated patients. 

 

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties 

 

Pregabalin steady-state pharmacokinetics are similar in healthy volunteers, patients with epilepsy 
receiving anti-epileptic drugs and patients with chronic pain. 

 

Absorption 

Pregabalin is rapidly absorbed when administered in the fasted state, with peak plasma concentrations 

occurring within 1 hour following both single and multiple dose administration. Pregabalin oral 

bioavailability is estimated to be  90% and is independent of dose. Following repeated 
administration, steady state is achieved within 24 to 48 hours. The rate of pregabalin absorption is 

decreased when given with food resulting in a decrease in Cmax by approximately 25-30% and a delay 

in tmax to approximately 2.5 hours. However, administration of pregabalin with food has no clinically 

significant effect on the extent of pregabalin absorption. 

 
Distribution  

In preclinical studies, pregabalin has been shown to cross the blood brain barrier in mice, rats, and 

monkeys. Pregabalin has been shown to cross the placenta in rats and is present in the milk of lactating 

rats. In humans, the apparent volume of distribution of pregabalin following oral administration is 

approximately 0.56 l/kg. Pregabalin is not bound to plasma proteins. 
 

Biotransformation  

Pregabalin undergoes negligible metabolism in humans. Following a dose of radiolabelled pregabalin, 

approximately 98% of the radioactivity recovered in the urine was unchanged pregabalin. The 

N-methylated derivative of pregabalin, the major metabolite of pregabalin found in urine, accounted 
for 0.9% of the dose. In preclinical studies, there was no indication of racemisation of pregabalin 

S-enantiomer to the R-enantiomer. 

 

Elimination 

Pregabalin is eliminated from the systemic circulation primarily by renal excretion as unchanged drug.  

Pregabalin mean elimination half-life is 6.3 hours. Pregabalin plasma clearance and renal clearance are 
directly proportional to creatinine clearance (see section 5.2 Renal impairment). 

 

Dose adjustment in patients with reduced renal function or undergoing haemodialysis is necessary (see 

section 4.2 Table 1). 

 
Linearity/non-linearity 

Pregabalin pharmacokinetics are linear over the recommended daily dose range. Inter-subject 

pharmacokinetic variability for pregabalin is low (< 20%). Multiple dose pharmacokinetics are 

predictable from single-dose data. Therefore, there is no need for routine monitoring of plasma 

concentrations of pregabalin. 
 

Gender 

Clinical trials indicate that gender does not have a clinically significant influence on the plasma 

concentrations of pregabalin. 

 

Renal impairment 
Pregabalin clearance is directly proportional to creatinine clearance. In addition, pregabalin is 

effectively removed from plasma by haemodialysis (following a 4 hour haemodialysis treatment 



 14 

plasma pregabalin concentrations are reduced by approximately 50%). Because renal elimination is the 
major elimination pathway, dose reduction in patients with renal impairment and dose 

supplementation following haemodialysis is necessary (see section 4.2 Table 1). 

 

Hepatic impairment 

No specific pharmacokinetic studies were carried out in patients with impaired liver function. Since 

pregabalin does not undergo significant metabolism and is excreted predominantly as unchanged drug 
in the urine, impaired liver function would not be expected to significantly alter pregabalin plasma 

concentrations. 

 

Paediatric population 

Pregabalin pharmacokinetics were evaluated in paediatric patients with epilepsy (age groups: 1 to 
23 months, 2 to 6 years, 7 to 11 years and 12 to 16 years) at dose levels of 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg/day 

in a pharmacokinetic and tolerability study. 

 

After oral administration of pregabalin in paediatric patients in the fasted state, in general, time to 

reach peak plasma concentration was similar across the entire age group and occurred 0.5 hours to 
2 hours postdose. 

 

Pregabalin Cmax and AUC parameters increased in a linear manner with increasing dose within each 

age group. The AUC was lower by 30% in paediatric patients below a weight of 30 kg due to an 

increased body weight adjusted clearance of 43% for these patients in comparison to patients weighing 

≥30 kg. 
 

Pregabalin terminal half-life averaged about 3 to 4 hours in paediatric patients up to 6 years of age, 

and 4 to 6 hours in those 7 years of age and older. 

 

Population pharmacokinetic analysis showed that creatinine clearance was a significant covariate of 
pregabalin oral clearance, body weight was a significant covariate of pregabalin apparent oral volume 

of distribution, and these relationships were similar in paediatric and adult patients.  

 

Pregabalin pharmacokinetics in patients younger than 3 months old have not been studied (see sections 

4.2, 4.8 and 5.1). 
 

Elderly 

Pregabalin clearance tends to decrease with increasing age. This decrease in pregabalin oral clearance 

is consistent with decreases in creatinine clearance associated with increasing age. Reduction of 

pregabalin dose may be required in patients who have age related compromised renal function (see 

section 4.2 Table 1). 
 

Breast-feeding mothers 

The pharmacokinetics of 150 mg pregabalin given every 12 hours (300 mg daily dose) was evaluated 

in 10 lactating women who were at least 12 weeks postpartum. Lactation had little to no influence on 

pregabalin pharmacokinetics. Pregabalin was excreted into breast milk with average steady-state 
concentrations approximately 76% of those in maternal plasma. The estimated infant dose from breast 

milk (assuming mean milk consumption of 150 ml/kg/day) of women receiving 300 mg/day or the 

maximum dose of 600 mg/day would be 0.31 or 0.62 mg/kg/day, respectively. These estimated doses 

are approximately 7% of the total daily maternal dose on a mg/kg basis. 

 
5.3 Preclinical safety data 

 

In conventional safety pharmacology studies in animals, pregabalin was well-tolerated at clinically 

relevant doses. In repeated dose toxicity studies in rats and monkeys CNS effects were observed, 

including hypoactivity, hyperactivity and ataxia. An increased incidence of retinal atrophy commonly 
observed in aged albino rats was seen after long-term exposure to pregabalin at exposures ≥ 5 times 

the mean human exposure at the maximum recommended clinical dose. 

 



 15 

Pregabalin was not teratogenic in mice, rats or rabbits. Foetal toxicity in rats and rabbits occurred only 
at exposures sufficiently above human exposure. In prenatal/postnatal toxicity studies, pregabalin 

induced offspring developmental toxicity in rats at exposures > 2 times the maximum recommended 

human exposure. 

 

Adverse effects on fertility in male and female rats were only observed at exposures sufficiently in 

excess of therapeutic exposure. Adverse effects on male reproductive organs and sperm parameters 
were reversible and occurred only at exposures sufficiently in excess of therapeutic exposure or were 

associated with spontaneous degenerative processes in male reproductive organs in the rat. Therefore 

the effects were considered of little or no clinical relevance. 

 

Pregabalin is not genotoxic based on results of a battery of in vitro and in vivo tests. 
 

Two-year carcinogenicity studies with pregabalin were conducted in rats and mice. No tumours were 

observed in rats at exposures up to 24 times the mean human exposure at the maximum recommended 

clinical dose of 600 mg/day. In mice, no increased incidence of tumours was found at exposures 

similar to the mean human exposure, but an increased incidence of haemangiosarcoma was observed 
at higher exposures. The non-genotoxic mechanism of pregabalin-induced tumour formation in mice 

involves platelet changes and associated endothelial cell proliferation. These platelet changes were not 

present in rats or in humans based on short-term and limited long-term clinical data. There is no 

evidence to suggest an associated risk to humans. 

 

In juvenile rats the types of toxicity do not differ qualitatively from those observed in adult rats. 
However, juvenile rats are more sensitive. At therapeutic exposures, there was evidence of CNS 

clinical signs of hyperactivity and bruxism and some changes in growth (transient body weight gain 

suppression). Effects on the oestrus cycle were observed at 5-fold the human therapeutic exposure. 

Reduced acoustic startle response was observed in juvenile rats 1-2 weeks after exposure at > 2 times 

the human therapeutic exposure. Nine weeks after exposure, this effect was no longer observable.

1. What Pregabalin Pfizer is and what it is used for 

 
Pregabalin Pfizer belongs to a group of medicines used to treat epilepsy, neuropathic pain and 

Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in adults. 

 

Peripheral and central neuropathic pain: Pregabalin Pfizer is used to treat long lasting pain caused 

by damage to the nerves. A variety of diseases can cause peripheral neuropathic pain, such as diabetes 

or shingles. Pain sensations may be described as hot, burning, throbbing, shooting, stabbing, sharp, 
cramping, aching, tingling, numbness, pins and needles. Peripheral and central neuropathic pain may 

also be associated with mood changes, sleep disturbance, fatigue (tiredness), and can have an impact 

on physical and social functioning and overall quality of life. 

 

Epilepsy: Pregabalin Pfizer is used to treat a certain form of epilepsy (partial seizures with or without 
secondary generalisation) in adults. Your doctor will prescribe Pregabalin Pfizer for you to help treat 

your epilepsy when your current treatment is not controlling your condition. You should take 

Pregabalin Pfizer in addition to your current treatment. Pregabalin Pfizer is not intended to be used 

alone, but should always be used in combination with other anti-epileptic treatment. 

 
Generalised Anxiety Disorder: Pregabalin Pfizer is used to treat Generalised Anxiety Disorder 

(GAD). The symptoms of GAD are prolonged excessive anxiety and worry that are difficult to control. 

GAD can also cause restlessness or feeling keyed up or on edge, being easily fatigued (tired), having 

difficulty concentrating or mind going blank, feeling irritable, having muscle tension or sleep 

disturbance. This is different to the stresses and strains of everyday life.

2. What you need to know before you take Pregabalin Pfizer 
 

Do not take Pregabalin Pfizer: 

If you are allergic to pregabalin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). 

 

Warnings and Precautions 

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Pregabalin Pfizer. 
 

• Some patients taking Pregabalin Pfizer have reported symptoms suggesting an allergic reaction. 
These symptoms include swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat, as well as diffuse skin rash.  

Should you experience any of these reactions, you should contact your physician immediately. 

 

• Pregabalin Pfizer has been associated with dizziness and somnolence, which could increase the 
occurrence of accidental injury (fall) in elderly patients. Therefore, you should be careful until 

you are used to any effect the medicine might have. 

 

• Pregabalin Pfizer may cause blurring or loss of vision, or other changes in eyesight, many of 
which are temporary. You should immediately tell your doctor if you experience any changes in 

your vision. 

 

• Some patients with diabetes who gain weight while taking pregabalin may need an alteration in 
their diabetic medicines. 

 

• Certain side effects may be more common, such as sleepiness, because patients with spinal cord 
injury may be taking other medicines to treat, for example, pain or spasticity, that have similar 

side effects to Pregabalin and the severity of these effects may be increased when taken together. 

 

• There have been reports of heart failure in some patients when taking Pregabalin Pfizer; these 
patients were mostly elderly with cardiovascular conditions. Before taking this medicine you 

should tell your doctor if you have a history of heart disease. 

 

• There have been reports of kidney failure in some patients when taking Pregabalin Pfizer. If while 
taking Pregabalin Pfizer you notice decreased urination, you should tell your doctor as stopping 
the medicine may improve this. 

 

• A small number of people being treated with anti-epileptics such as Pregabalin Pfizer have had 
thoughts of harming or killing themselves. If at any time you have these thoughts, immediately 

contact your doctor. 
 

• When Pregabalin Pfizer is taken with other medicines that may cause constipation (such as some 
types of pain medicines) it is possible that gastrointestinal problems may occur (e.g.  constipation, 

blocked or paralysed bowel). Tell your doctor if you experience constipation, especially if you are 

prone to this problem. 
 

• Before taking this medicine you should tell your doctor if you have a history of alcoholism or any 
drug abuse or dependence. Do not take more medicine than prescribed. 

 

• There have been reports of convulsions when taking Pregabalin Pfizer or shortly after stopping
