Can pregabalin cause constipation?

Yes, pregabalin can indeed cause constipation as one of the possible side effects. This is a relatively rare side effect, but it may occur in some people using this medicine.

Pregabalin is an antiepileptic drug that is also used to treat neuropathic pain, anxiety and some psychiatric disorders. One of the mechanisms of action of pregabalin is its effect on the nerves responsible for controlling the processing of pain stimuli and for the functions of the nervous system, which may affect intestinal motility.

If you experience constipation while using pregabalin, it is important to tell your doctor. Your doctor may recommend changing your dose of medication, using medications to help you have a bowel movement, or other strategies to manage your constipation symptoms.
