A large number of packets containing banned Lyrica capsules have been seized from a consignment of cosmetics, the General Authority of Customs announced on Twitter on Thursday.
The seizure was made by the Postal Consignments Customs Department at the Air Cargo and Private Airports Customs administration, the GAC added.
Lyrica, also known by its generic name Pregabalin, is an anticonvulsant used to treat seizures and provide pain relief for people with fibromyalgia, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, or herpes zoster. While Lyrica can be beneficial to those who need it, others are at risk for developing a Lyrica addiction.
