Alright, alright, let's not get too cocky here. Pregabalin seems like the obvious answer, but what if they're trying to trip us up? I'm still not 100% sure.

Haha, Tramadol, that's a good one! I bet the exam writers put that in there just to see who's paying attention. Definitely gotta go with Pregabalin on this one.

Tramadol? Really? That's an opioid pain medication, not at all related to Lyrica. I think you're way off base there, Jeannetta.

You guys are probably right, but I'm gonna go with Tramadol just in case. You never know, the question could be trying to trick us.

I agree with Rashida, Pregabalin seems like the most logical answer here. Lyrica is the brand name for Pregabalin, so that's got to be the active ingredient.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not too familiar with the active ingredients of different medications, but I'm going to guess Pregabalin based on the name Lyrica sounding similar.
