Pregabid 150 Capsule

Product introduction
Pregabid 150 Capsule is a medication used to relieve pain caused by damaged nerves, also known as neuropathic pain. Such nerve pain can occur due to conditions like diabetes, shingles (herpes zoster), injuries to the spinal cord, or other underlying problems. It is also prescribed to manage widespread muscle pain and stiffness seen in people with fibromyalgia.

This medicine belongs to a group called anti-epileptics. Apart from pain management, it can be used alongside other medicines to treat certain kinds of seizures. In some cases, doctors may also prescribe it for anxiety disorder when other treatments are not suitable.

You can take Pregabid 150 Capsule with or without meals, but it is important to take it at the same time each day for maximum benefit. The dose and treatment duration will depend on your medical condition and how well your body responds. Usually, treatment begins with a lower dose, which is then gradually increased. It may take a few weeks for you to notice the full effect. Do not skip doses, as doing so may worsen your condition, and always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

Most side effects of this medicine are mild and temporary. Some common ones include dizziness, sleepiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, weight gain, swelling in the body (edema), and trouble focusing. These effects generally go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, speak with your doctor if any side effect becomes troublesome or persists for a long time.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding. This medication may cause dizziness and blurred vision, so you should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if these symptoms occur. Alcohol should not be consumed while taking Pregabid 150 Capsule as it can increase drowsiness and dizziness.
