Pregan Capsule 50 mg contains Pregabalin, a medication used to treat nerve-related pain and certain neurological conditions. It is widely prescribed for neuropathic pain, epilepsy (as adjunct therapy), and generalized anxiety disorder (in some cases). Pregabalin helps reduce abnormal nerve signals in the brain, providing relief from pain and improving overall quality of life.

Indications

Pregan Capsule 50 mg is indicated for:

• Neuropathic pain (diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia)
• Peripheral nerve pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Adjunctive therapy in partial seizures (epilepsy)

Mechanism of Action

Pregabalin works by binding to voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate and substance P, which are responsible for pain transmission and nerve excitability. As a result, it helps calm overactive nerves and reduces pain and seizures.
