Pregabalin as a liquid?

Hi :)

i was just wondering if anyone has been able to get pregabalin in its oral solution form (which is available in the US, has been since 2009/10 i think)? Just been prescribed it today but i am unable to take capsules which, after much research, seems to be the only option available in the UK...
thanks very much
Leanne

    the contents of the capsule easily dissolves in water and do not taste nice, so you could mask the taste with some juice.

    the Scottish Medicines Consortium are due to consider Lyrica Solution for prescribing in Scotland so I can only assume its UK launched is planned.

    I can't tell you about it as a liquid but wow it has helped me such a lot as a drug. Afraid I was cynical as other painkillers did almost nothing but was so pleasantly suprised.
