Pregabalin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in peripheral sensory neurons, reducing abnormal neuronal firing and pain signal transmission at the application site with minimal systemic absorption.
Oral pregabalin (Lyrica) is a Schedule V controlled substance associated with sedation, cognitive impairment, weight gain, edema, and abuse potential. There is no FDA-approved topical pregabalin product. Compounding allows targeted peripheral delivery at the pain site with dramatically reduced systemic side effects.

Pregabalin works by the same calcium channel mechanism as topical gabapentin but with different pharmacokinetic properties. Like topical gabapentin, topical pregabalin targets peripheral alpha-2-delta subunits at the pain site, providing localized neuropathic pain relief with minimal systemic absorption.
For patients who require neuropathic pain relief but cannot tolerate oral pregabalin's CNS effects, the topical formulation represents a clinically valuable alternative or adjunct.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, localized chronic neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia (localized areas), CRPS (combined with other agents)
Topical cream/gel (4–6%): Apply 0.5–1g to affected area 2–4 times daily
Multi-drug compound: 1–2g applied 3–4x daily per formulation
Mild local irritation. Significantly reduced sedation, cognitive impairment, and weight gain vs. oral pregabalin. Minimal systemic effects at standard topical doses.
