What is the medication Lyrica is that a name for lipitor?

by Admin on September 20, 2009

In the envelope of mail order prescriptions the bottle says Lyrica and it is supose to be lipitor? Is that a generic name?
Or did they make a mistake?

I’m a nurse, and they DEFIANTLY made a mistake! Lipitor is a cholesterol lowering medication, and Lyrica is used for neuropathathy. I’d call the pharmacy ASAP and ask to speak to a supervisor to get the problem corrected.

you can get much information in this website, kindly stay a minute in website and check anyone link at a time, and you can aslo get your question answer in Google Search in this website, which has helped me very much.

Lyrica is for SEIZURES and FIBROMYLAGIA not neuropathy. I am not a nurse and I know that. Lipitor is for high cholesterol. So they are not the same medication. If those nurses want to say that I am wrong they can go to Lyrica’s website and look it up! The company who makes it makes no mention of it’s use for neuropathy. Gosh I am glad neither of them have been my nurse!
