How long has lyrica been on the market?

How many years has Lyrica (pregabalin) been available?

Lyrica (pregabalin) was first approved by the FDA in 2004, which means it has been on the U.S. market for about 20+ years (depending on whether you count from the initial approval date in 2004 to today) [1].

What matters for “on the market” dates—approval vs. launch

“On the market” is often treated as the time from the drug’s first FDA approval, since that’s when it can begin being marketed and prescribed. Using the approval year (2004) puts Lyrica’s market presence at roughly two decades [1].
