Pregabid 50 Capsule

Product Introduction
Pregabid 50 Capsule is commonly used to manage pain caused by nerve damage, known as neuropathic pain. Such pain may occur due to conditions like diabetes, shingles (herpes zoster infection), spinal cord injuries, or other nerve-related disorders. It is also beneficial in easing widespread muscle pain and stiffness experienced by individuals with fibromyalgia.

This medicine belongs to a class of drugs called anti-epileptics. Besides pain relief, it can be used in combination with other medications to treat certain types of seizures. In some cases, doctors may also prescribe it for managing symptoms of anxiety disorders when other treatments are not suitable.

Pregabid 50 Capsule can be taken with or without meals, but it’s important to take it at the same time each day for the best results. Your doctor will decide the correct dosage and duration depending on your condition and response to treatment. Typically, treatment begins with a low dose, which is gradually increased. It may take a few weeks before you notice significant improvement. Do not stop the medicine abruptly, and try not to miss doses, as this can worsen your condition.

The side effects are generally mild and temporary. Common symptoms include drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, dry mouth, swelling in the body, weight gain, and difficulty focusing. These effects usually resolve on their own, but you should speak with your doctor if they persist or bother you.

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before starting this medicine. Since it can cause dizziness, sleepiness, and blurred vision, be cautious while driving or operating heavy machinery. Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase these side effects.
