Can I take Pregabalin and Paracetamol together?

لماذا يحدث هذا

Pregabalin and paracetamol work in different ways and are processed by different organs in the body. Pregabalin is mainly cleared by the kidneys, while paracetamol is processed by the liver. They do not interfere with how the other is absorbed or removed from the body.

You can take these medicines together as prescribed by your doctor or as directed on the packaging. Always stick to the recommended doses for both. If you feel unusually drowsy, speak to your pharmacist or doctor, as pregabalin itself can sometimes cause tiredness.

Pregabalin can cause serious breathing problems, especially if you already have lung disease or if you take it with other sedating medicines like opioids. Seek emergency help if you experience slow, shallow, or difficult breathing.

History of substance misuse or addiction

Pregabalin carries a high risk of dependence and addiction. You must take it exactly as prescribed and be aware that it can be misused.

Pregabalin should not be used during pregnancy as it may increase the risk of major birth defects. Effective contraception must be used during treatment.

Concurrent use of other medicines
