Gabarol Capsule 100 mg contains Pregabalin, a potent medication for the treatment of neuropathic pain, epilepsy, and generalized anxiety disorder. Pregabalin works by binding to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system, reducing abnormal nerve activity and stabilizing neuronal signaling.
Gabarol 100 mg is a higher-dose formulation intended for patients who require stronger symptom control or who have been titrated from lower doses. It provides effective management of chronic nerve pain, fibromyalgia, post-herpetic neuralgia, and seizure disorders while improving overall quality of life.
