NHS England guidance on Pregabalin for pain

CCGs have been instructed to distribute guidance for all GPs to carry out review of all patients on long term Pregabalin prescriptions.

Switching patients prescribed for neuropathic pain onto the branded form of Pregabalin Lyrica, all new prescriptions should also be for Lyrica when patients will require long term use.
