How this fits in with quality in primary careWhat do we know?-the use and abuse of pregabalin has increased in recent years; requiring monitoring of patients prescribed the drug as well as identifying potential abusers.What does this paper add?-this paper demonstrates that point-of-care testing for pregabalin is a viable option for patient monitoring for pregabalin use. The authors believe this to be the first published data concerning pregabalin point-of-care testing especially in comparison with 'gold standard' mass-spectrometry confirmation.
