Pregaz Capsule

Pregaz Capsule belongs to a group of medications called anticonvulsants, primarily used for the prevention of neuropathic pain, epilepsy (seizure episodes), and fibromyalgia (musculoskeletal pain). Neuropathic pain is chronic nerve pain usually caused by damaged nerves due to conditions such as diabetes, shingles (a viral infection that causes a painful rash), spinal cord injury, or injuries to tissue, muscles, or joints.

Pregaz Capsule contains pregabalin, which works by calming damaged or overactive nerves in the body that can cause nerve or musculoskeletal pain or seizures. In addition, it decreases the number of pain signals sent out by damaged nerves.

You should take Pregaz Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, based on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side effects, such as dizziness, somnolence (sleepiness or drowsiness), dry mouth, oedema (fluid build-up with swelling), blurred vision, weight gain, and abnormal thinking (difficulty with concentration or attention). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Before taking Pregaz Capsule, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Tell your doctor if you experience any symptoms of suicidal thoughts or behaviour while taking Pregaz Capsule. Also, inform your doctor if you have a history of alcohol or drug addiction, mood disorders, bleeding disorders, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, or kidney, liver, or heart disease. Pregaz Capsule is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically advised by your doctor. It should not be given to children under 18 years of age, as its safety and effectiveness have not been established in this age group.
