Prelica Capsule 25 mg contains Pregabalin, a medication used to treat neuropathic (nerve) pain, certain seizure disorders, fibromyalgia, and generalized anxiety disorder (in selected cases). It belongs to the class of anticonvulsants and neuropathic pain modulators.

The 25 mg strength is commonly used as a starting dose, for dose titration, or in patients who require lower doses—such as the elderly or those with kidney impairment.

Prelica 25 mg is indicated for:

• Peripheral neuropathic pain (e.g., diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia)

• Central neuropathic pain

• Adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures

• Fibromyalgia

• Generalized anxiety disorder (as per treatment guidelines).

Dosage and Administration

• Should not be discontinued abruptly; taper gradually under medical supervision.

Dose adjustment is necessary in patients with renal impairment.

Mechanism of Action

Pregabalin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters involved in pain transmission and seizure activity, helping relieve nerve pain and control seizures.

Benefits

• Effective for nerve-related pain

• Helps reduce seizure frequency (as add-on therapy)

• Improves sleep disturbances associated with neuropathic pain

• May reduce anxiety symptoms

• Flexible dosing for gradual titration
