Lyrica (Pregabalin): Again!

Pregabalin Treatment Improves Fatigue, Function and Self-Reported Presenteeism in Fibromyalgia

Poster presented in San Diego at the 28th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Pain Society (APS).
Kevin Murphy, MD, of Pfizer.

Using 3 previous studies done over 13 and 14 weeks only!
On a self-assessment scale, the mean difference compared to placebo showed a reduction of work missed of 0.22 days per week.

That is over 14 weeks only and they have the audacity to translate it to 11.6 days per year!
When are we going to stop this kind of skewed information?
  • 14 weeks studies for a life-long disease
  • Result extended to a year
  • Author: Pfizer employee
