What is pregabalin?

Uses of Prebel 50mg Capsule

Neuropathic Pain

Treatment of nerve pain caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, or spinal cord damage.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Prebel 50 mg. Capsules are medications used to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It helps to treat the symptoms of diabetes-related nerve neuropathy. Pregabalin works by lowering aberrant electrical activity in the brain, which relieves the pain and discomfort associated with neuropathy.

Postherpetic Neuralgia: Prebel 50mg Capsule is used to treat Postherpetic Neuralgia, a disorder that causes nerve discomfort following shingles. Its primary ingredient, commonly Pregabalin, aids in pain relief by modulating brain activity. 

Spinal Cord Injury-associated Neuropathic Pain: Prebel 50mg capsules are commonly suggested to treat neuropathic pain caused by spinal cord injury. Neuropathic pain is caused by nerve loss or dysfunction, which can occur as a result of spinal cord trauma. Prebel contains pregabalin, a medicine that reduces neuropathic pain by calming hyperactive nerve cells. Prebel reduces excessive nerve firing, which helps relieve pain, tingling, burning sensations, and other discomforts associated with spinal cord injury-related neuropathy. 

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a disorder that causes extensive musculoskeletal pain, as well as fatigue, sleep, cognitive, and mood problems.

Epilepsy

It is used as an additional therapy for people suffering from partial-onset seizures.

Adjunctive Therapy for Partial Seizures: Prebel 50mg capsules are frequently prescribed as an additional therapy to treat partial seizures. Partial seizures are characterized by aberrant electrical activity in a single area of the brain, which causes symptoms such as involuntary movements, altered consciousness, or sensory abnormalities. Prebel contains pregabalin, which helps manage seizures by regulating hyperactive nerve cells and lowering aberrant electrical signals in the brain. When combined with other seizure drugs, Prebel can improve seizure control and overall seizure management.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Pregabalin is also licensed to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It helps to alleviate anxiety symptoms by relaxing the nervous system.

Off-label Uses

• Migraine Prevention
• Chronic Pain Conditions (e.g., chronic lower back pain)

Pregabalin acts by binding to voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system, reducing the release of many neurotransmitters, hence decreasing nerve signal transmission and treating symptoms associated with the disorders as mentioned earlier.
