Have been advised to take Pragabalinfor my back pain, however, tablet to be taken in evening when I take my Levo.

I have asked Dr if I can have patches instead. Has anyone any experience of pain patches with Levo.

The patches shouldn't have any effect on your levo because they don't go through the stomach or the gut. That's where things are likely to affect absorption.

Thank you so much for your reply. The Dr wanted me to take Pregabalin at night with my Levo. Not too happy when I said No!! Hence the patches.
