Some doctors might prescribe it off-label for managing generalised anxiety disorder.

Before starting this medicine, it's crucial that you consult your doctor who will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency based on your health condition. Be sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you experience any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the prescribed course of medication.

Pregaba 75 Tablet contains Pregabalin (75 mg), which works on the body as follows:

Interaction with calcium channels: Pregabalin binds to the alpha-2-delta site, an auxiliary subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels found in the central nervous system.
Modulation of Neurotransmitters: The binding action reduces the release of several neurotransmitters such as glutamate, noradrenaline, and substance P. This modulation of neurotransmitters is believed to help in exerting its anticonvulsant, analgesic (pain-relieving), and anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects.
