Pregabalin is recognised to be associated with a range of possible side effects including dizziness, somnolence, loss of consciousness, confusion and mental impairment which could explain the increased risk of injuries and traffic accidents identified in this new study.</p><p>The product information for pregabalin currently contains relevant warnings regarding suicidal ideation and behaviour, possible side effects, as well as the possible effects on driving and operating machinery. The MHRA will carefully consider this new study and whether new advice needs to be issued to healthcare professionals and patients.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
