Pregabalin is used to treat neuropathic pain, seizures, and anxiety. It is a controlled substance due to abuse potential and increasingly common misuse. LC-MS/MS testing provides specific identification of pregabalin, distinguishing it from related drugs like gabapentin.
This test is used in pain management compliance monitoring, addiction medicine, forensic testing, and clinical situations where specific identification of pregabalin is needed. Sample type is serum, plasma, or urine.
