Composition

• Active Ingredient: Pregabalin 82.5 mg (Controlled Release)
• Dosage Form: Controlled-release tablet

Indications

Gabarol CR Tablet 82.5 mg is used for the treatment of:

• Neuropathic pain associated with diabetes (diabetic neuropathy)
• Post-herpetic neuralgia (pain following shingles)

Mechanism of Action

Pregabalin works by binding to voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This action reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate and substance P, which are responsible for pain transmission and abnormal nerve activity. The controlled-release formulation allows for a sustained effect, minimizing fluctuations in drug levels.
