    Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all supporters! Vigilance Sante is the vendor that makes the patient information sheets that go home with patients from Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada. They provide this vendor service to other Canadian pharmacies as well.
   Health Canada is the authority that instructs the vendor on what needs to be listed in the patient information sheets. 
    I was told that not all the information needs to be listed in the patient information sheets. In order to see all the side effects, the Health Canada online drug monograph needs to be read. Here’s the problem “ not everyone knows this”. Most believe they are getting all the information. 
    Pregabalin is the generic version of Lyrica. 
In 2021 Northern Ireland banned pregabalin because of high incidence of deaths linked to it, Australian Doctors spend their days detoxing patients from it. It is dangerous to stop taking pregabalin cold Turkey. Here’s links two article’s . A quick google search will get you more.
