Pregabalin

Uses

Pregabalin is used in the treatment of neuropathic pain, anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia, and seizures associated with epilepsy.

How it Works

How Pregabalin works Pregabalin is an antiepileptic medication. When used for epilepsy, it is believed to reduce abnormal electrical activity in the brain, thereby preventing seizures. It is also utilized to treat nerve pain by blocking pain signals traveling through damaged nerves to the brain. For the treatment of anxiety, it is thought to work by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) that contribute to feelings of anxiety.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Pregabalin include sleepiness, weight gain, dryness in the mouth, blurred vision, dizziness, and peripheral edema.

Expert Advice

  • It may cause sleepiness; therefore, do not drive or engage in activities requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
  • It may cause blurring or loss of vision; inform your doctor immediately if you notice any changes in your vision.
  • Notify your doctor if you experience any unusual changes in mood or behavior, including new or worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts or behavior.
