Can you give a bit more information on the situation. There would be no urine test prior to it being prescribed as far as I am aware.

Appreciate that but why are you thinking a urine test would be required?

Its possible that lyrica can help you with that type of pain.

I have problems with peeing in a cup.

I took 4hrs one time to do a urine test.

No but a blood test after you have been on it for a while, checks your liver function is not being affected by the drug.
