Composition
-
Pregabalin 330 mg (Extended Release)
Indications
Pegalin ER Tablet is indicated for:
-
Neuropathic pain (diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia)
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Adjunct therapy for partial seizures (epilepsy)
-
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
-
Chronic nerve pain requiring long-term sustained therapy
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. The extended-release formulation allows gradual absorption, maintaining consistent plasma levels and providing prolonged symptom relief over 24 hours.
