Pregan Capsule 25 mg contains Pregabalin, a medication used for the management of nerve-related pain and certain neurological conditions. It is commonly used as an initial or low-dose therapy for neuropathic pain, epilepsy (as adjunct treatment), fibromyalgia, and generalized anxiety disorder (as prescribed by a physician).

Pregabalin helps stabilize overactive nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord, reducing pain sensations and improving daily functioning.

Indications

Pregan Capsule 25 mg is indicated for:

• Neuropathic pain (diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia)

Mechanism of Action

Pregabalin binds to voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This action reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate, norepinephrine, and substance P. By decreasing abnormal nerve activity, it helps relieve pain, reduce seizure activity, and stabilize nerve signaling.
