One of our members, recently brought an article to my attention on the safety of Lyrica. I didn't want to post the article that was sent to me until I had taken a look at the advices that are on the net.
Now that I have spent a little time doing this, i thought it would be a good idea to post some of the results up. Of course, if you are concerned and taking Lyrica then please contact your medical practitioner or spinal unit if they still oversee your care.
This is an extract from the article below.
Neurontin and its newer more potent version, Lyrica, are widely used for off-label indications that are an outright flagrant danger to the public.
These blockbuster drugs were approved for use even though the FDA had no idea what they actually did in the brain.
A shocking new study shows that they block the formation of new brain synapses1, drastically reducing the potential for rejuvenating brain plasticity – meaning that these drugs will cause brain decline faster than any substance known to mankind.
The problem of these drugs is compounded by their flagrant illegal marketing. Neurontin was approved by the FDA for epilepsy back in 1994.
The drug underwent massive illegal off-label promotion that cost Warner-Lambert 430 million dollars (the very first big fine for off-label promotion). The drug is now owned by Pfizer. Pfizer also owns Lyrica, a super-potent version of Neurontin. It has been approved by the FDA for various types of pain and fibromyalgia. Lyrica is one of four drugs which a subsidiary of Pfizer illegally marketed, resulting in a $2.3 billion settlement against Pfizer.
