Tunisian Pregabalin Controversy

An detailed article addresses the danger of the substance Pregabalin (Lyrica), which is used as a medication to treat nerve pain. However, it is being illegally circulated in Tunisia through an underground black market, targeting young people and drug users in unregulated ways. Reports confirm that the substance, originally prescribed for peripheral neuropathy and epilepsy, has transformed into a recreational drug when used outside of medical prescriptions, posing severe health risks such as poisoning, coma, and confusion—especially when combined with other substances or alcohol. The region is witnessing a significant increase in smuggling networks, with security operations seizing millions of capsules in Algeria and Tunisia. The number of smuggling and trafficking cases has risen sharply, with a substantial decline in control over these activities in recent years. Medical professionals warn against misuse and emphasize the importance of following medical prescriptions, highlighting that uncontrolled use greatly endangers the lives of young people.
