Can lyrica interact negatively with all bp meds?



Lyrica (pregabalin) is a medication that is used to treat seizures, nerve pain, and anxiety disorders. According to the sources provided, there are potential drug interactions between Lyrica and certain blood pressure medications.

Drugs.com [1] states that Lyrica can interact with ACE inhibitors, which are a type of blood pressure medication. This interaction can cause an increase in the risk of swelling and fluid retention. Additionally, Lyrica can interact with diuretics, another type of blood pressure medication. This interaction can increase the risk of dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating.

WebMD [2] also notes that Lyrica can interact with ACE inhibitors and diuretics, and adds that it can also interact with calcium channel blockers, another type of blood pressure medication. This interaction can cause an increase in the risk of dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating.

Drug Patent Watch [3] provides a list of the patents that protect Lyrica, but does not provide information on drug interactions.

It is important to note that not all individuals will experience negative interactions between Lyrica and blood pressure medications. However, it is recommended that patients inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.
