It may be beneficial in managing neuropathic pain conditions like diabetic peripheral neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and central neuropathic pain. Furthermore, it aids in reducing discomfort in individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

It is crucial to take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Before starting this medicine, make sure to inform your doctor about any ongoing medications or existing health conditions.

Somnolence (a state of near-sleep, a strong desire for sleep, or sleeping for unusually long periods)

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Pregabid-75 Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Pregabid-75 Capsule contains pregabalin (75 mg) which works in the body as follows:

Modulates Brain Activity: Pregabalin binds to specific sites in the brain and nervous system known as voltage-gated calcium channels. This binding process modifies the electrical activity within these areas.
Reduces Excitatory Neurotransmitters: By attaching itself to these channels, pregabalin reduces the release of certain neurotransmitters such as glutamate, noradrenaline, and substance P that can increase brain activity.
Manages Neuronal Hyperexcitability: Reducing these excitatory neurotransmitters helps manage overactive neuronal firing. This action contributes significantly to its anticonvulsant properties, which help control seizures.
By working in these ways, pregabalin helps address the symptoms associated with seizures, anxiety disorders, and certain pain conditions.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking this capsule if you are pregnant. The medicine may increase the risk of foetal malformations. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

This medicine is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when using this medication while lactating.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol consumption while on Pregabid-75 Capsule, as it may potentiate central nervous system depression. Consult your doctor for more information.

Liver

As Pregabid-75 Capsule is excreted largely unchanged in urine, it does not significantly affect the liver. However, if you have any liver-related concerns, it would be wise to discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Dosage adjustment of this medication may be needed if you have kidney impairment as the medicine is excreted via the kidneys. Make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting the medication.
