[Pregabalin under the prison lens. Reflections on an emerging issue]. / Prégabaline sous la loupe carcérale. Réflexions sur une problématique émergente.

ABSTRACT

The practice of medicine in prison confronts the prescriber with emerging trends in psychotropic drug misuse. We examine the increasing demand for pregabaliun, as we observe it in patients in detention, and offer a reflection on the health issues. We explain our approach to abstaining from prescribing.
