6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
In all controlled and uncontrolled trials across various patient populations during the premarketing development of pregabalin, more than 10,000 patients have received pregabalin.
Approximately 5,000 patients were treated for 6 months or more, over 3,100 patients were treated for 1 year or longer, and over 1,400 patients were treated for at least 2 years.
Adverse Reactions Most Commonly Leading to Discontinuation in All Premarketing Controlled Clinical Studies In premarketing controlled trials of all adult populations combined, 14% of patients treated with pregabalin and 7% of patients treated with placebo discontinued prematurely due to adverse reactions.
In the pregabalin treatment group, the adverse reactions most frequently leading to discontinuation were dizziness (4%) and somnolence (4%).
In the placebo group, 1% of patients withdrew due to dizziness and less than 1% withdrew due to somnolence.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Angioedema (e.g., swelling of the throat, head and neck) can occur, and may be associated with life-threatening respiratory compromise requiring emergency treatment.
Discontinue pregabalin immediately in these cases.
( 5.1 ) Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., hives, dyspnea, and wheezing) can occur.
Discontinue pregabalin immediately in these patients.
( 5.2 ) Antiepileptic drugs, including pregabalin, increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior.
Like all medications, Pregabalin can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
