Cautions with other medicines

It's usually safe to take pregabalin with other medicines.

For safety, tell your doctor before you start taking pregabalin if you're taking:

  • strong opioid painkillers such as morphine, codeine or oxycodone
  • medicines that make you feel sleepy or dizzy – pregabalin can make these side effects worse
