Prelica Capsule 75 mg contains Pregabalin, a medication primarily used to treat neuropathic (nerve) pain, epilepsy, and certain anxiety disorders. It belongs to a class of medicines known as anticonvulsants or neuropathic pain agents.

Pregabalin works by calming overactive nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord. It is commonly prescribed for long-term management of nerve-related pain and seizure disorders under medical supervision.
