The maximum daily dose of Lyrica 75 mg Capsule (pregabalin) varies depending on the condition being treated and individual factors, but in adults, the usual total daily dose ranges from 150 mg to 600 mg, given in divided doses. The 75 mg capsule is generally used as a starting or low dose. It may be gradually increased if required and tolerated, based on response, kidney function, age, and medical conditions such as neuropathic pain, epilepsy, or anxiety-related use. Do not increase or adjust the dose on your own, as higher doses can increase the risk of dizziness, drowsiness, swelling, and dependence. Proper medical supervision is essential for safe and effective use.
