How Pregabalin works

  • Pregabalin falls under the Anticonvulsant category. It is an alpha-2 delta ligand that works by altering calcium channel activity in nerve cells to reduce pain. It reduces seizures in patients with epilepsy by decreasing irregular electrical activity in the brain. They both work together to alleviate neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

Expert Advice

It is important that you take your Pregabalin medicine regularly and completely as recommended by your physician because missing doses can cause seizures. Do not switch the brand of Pregabalin medicine you are taking, and check to see that you have a sufficient quantity of the medication on hand. The following are some suggestions for maintaining a healthy lifestyle: Perform yoga daily. Get a good night's sleep. Limit your time spent on a computer or smartphone. Be sure to take your medicine at the prescribed times. Pregabalin may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Do not operate a motor vehicle or engage in any activity requiring mental focus until you have determined how Pregabalin will affect you. While using Pregabalin, your doctor may recommend routine blood tests to check your blood cell count. If you experience sudden mood swings or have suicidal thoughts, consult your doctor. Pregabalin can cause blurring vision or even blindness. If you experience any changes in your vision, you should consult a doctor immediately. Do not suddenly stop taking the Pregabalin medicine without consulting your doctor, because this may increase the frequency of your seizures.
