Pegalin Capsule 50 mg contains Pregabalin, a centrally acting neuromodulator used in the treatment of neuropathic pain, epilepsy, and generalized anxiety disorder. It works by stabilizing overactive nerve activity in the central nervous system, helping to reduce pain signals, calm nerve excitability, and improve overall neurological comfort.

Composition
Indications
Pegalin Capsule is indicated for:

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 such as glutamate, norepinephrine, and substance P, leading to decreased neuronal excitability and relief from neuropathic pain, anxiety, and seizure activity.
