Lyrica 150mg Capsule 14s (strip)
RM 136.80
Lyrica 150mg Capsule can be taken with or without food, but it is important to take this medication at the same time every day to make the most of the benefits. The exact dosage and duration of treatment will depend on your condition and how you respond towards the medication. Your doctor will probably start this medication at a low dose and gradually raise it. It may take a couple of weeks for the medication to function properly. Follow the instructions of your doctor and continue to take it daily until you are told by your doctor to quit. Do not miss a dose, or your condition can worsen.
Before taking the medication, you should tell your doctor whether you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or are expecting to become pregnant. Be cautious when driving as sleepiness, dizziness, and blurred vision can be seen as the side effects. You should avoid using alcohol along with this medicine as it can lead to excessive sleepiness and dizziness.
Most of the side effects do not require any medical attention and stop as the body responds to the drug. Consult the doctor if they continue or if you are worried about them.
In general, the side effects of this medication are mild and dissappear on their own. The most common are sleepy or dizzy feeling, dry mouth, blurred vision, weight gain, swelling around the body, and difficulty in concentrating. Most side effects are not severe and do not require medical attention. Speak to your doctor about possible side effects and how you could be able to prevent or handle them.
If you miss a dose of Lyrica 150mg Capsule, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
