It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as neuropathic pain, epilepsy (as adjunct therapy), fibromyalgia, and generalized anxiety disorder.

Indications
Pregan Capsule 75 mg is indicated for:
-
Neuropathic pain (diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia)
-
Peripheral nerve pain
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Adjunctive treatment of 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 involved in pain transmission and nerve excitability. As a result, it helps reduce abnormal nerve activity and provides relief from pain and seizures.
