Pregabrial 50 Capsule 10 contains Pregabalin (50 mg), which has a specific way of acting on your body:

• Binds to alpha2delta subunit: Pregabalin attaches itself to a component known as the alpha2delta subunit present in voltage-gated calcium channels within your central nervous system (CNS). These channels play a crucial role in transmitting signals in your nervous system.

• Reduces excitatory neurotransmitter release: By binding to the alpha2delta subunit, pregabalin reduces the release of neurotransmitters that excite neurons, such as glutamate, noradrenaline, and substance P. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals in the brain. This action helps manage seizures, alleviate neuropathic pain and reduce symptoms of anxiety disorders.

• Store Pregabrial 50 Capsule 10 at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it in its original, tightly closed container to protect from moisture and light.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Ensure you use Pregabrial 50 Capsule 10 before its expiry date.

• If you're taking Pregabrial 50 Capsule 10 for managing neuropathic pain or fibromyalgia, try to follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains which can help manage pain and inflammation.

• Regular gentle exercise such as walking or swimming may be beneficial if you're using this medication for epilepsy or fibromyalgia, as physical activity can help control seizures and reduce symptoms of fibromyalgia. Please consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
