Thank you for contacting HCM.

you are taking a medication called pregabalin (Lyrica). maximum dose you can take in a given day is 300 mg daily.

This is a neuromodulator useful for neuropathic pain.

Most of the time physician advise taking this medication 50 mg three times a day or 75 mg two times a day, these are more effective ways taking this. I would recommend taking this twice or thrice daily as mentioned above.

If you have any kidney issues then dosing will change. Avoid Alcohol use when taking this medications.

hope this information helps you. If you have any questions our team is glad to help you.
