Can Lyrica Be Taken Without The Capsule Shell?
I just read that lyrica has a corn product on the shell. My autistic son has sensitivity to corn but has just started taking Lyrica for seizures. He was started on only 25mg but we hope to reduce other mess and increase Lyrica as it does not seem to effect his balance. Does it in fact have corn in it or on it and is there another way to take it without that coating?
