Pegalin Capsule 25 mg contains Pregabalin, a centrally acting anticonvulsant and neuropathic pain modulator. It is widely used in the management of nerve-related pain conditions, epilepsy, and generalized anxiety disorder. Pregabalin works by calming overactive nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord, thereby reducing pain and improving neurological stability.

Pregabalin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system.
