Pregabalin (Neurobalin) 75 mg: Uses, Dosage & Safety Information
Description
Neurobalin 75 mg contains Pregabalin, which is used to treat chronic nerve pain caused by diabetes, shingles, or spinal injury. It is also prescribed to help manage partial seizures in epilepsy. Additionally, Neurobalin may improve fibromyalgia symptoms, mood, and sleep quality.
How It Works
Pregabalin reduces excessive nerve activity in the brain and spinal cord by decreasing neurotransmitter release. This helps calm nerve signals, reduces pain, and improves overall nervous system functioning.
Dosage
Treatment usually starts at 75 mg once or twice daily. Doses may gradually increase to 300–600 mg per day for optimal effect. Dose adjustments may be needed for patients with impaired kidney function.
Side Effects
Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, and dry mouth. Other possible effects include blurred vision, swelling, or concentration difficulties. Gradual discontinuation is recommended to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Pregabalin should be used during pregnancy only if the benefits outweigh the risks. The drug is excreted in breast milk and may affect infants, so breastfeeding is generally not recommended without medical guidance.
Storage Instructions
Store tablets in a dry place below 25°C. Avoid exposure to sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
UK Regulation
Pregabalin is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) in the UK and is classified as a Schedule 3 Controlled Drug. Supply or possession without a valid prescription is illegal.
