About Pregalin Forte Capsule

Pregalin Forte Capsule is a combination medicine used to treat neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease which causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or malfunctioning of the nervous system. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).

Pregalin Forte Capsule is a combination of three drugs: Pregabalin, methylcobalamin and alpha-lipoic acid. Pregabalin works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this helps in relieving nerve pain. Methylcobalamin helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Alpha-lipoic acid helps in providing a protective effect on the nerve tissues and brain. Together, Pregalin Forte Capsule helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.

You are advised to take Pregalin Forte Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pregalin Forte Capsule causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Pregalin Forte Capsule should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Pregalin Forte Capsule as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Medicinal Benefits

Pregalin Forte Capsule is used to treat neuropathic pain. Pregalin Forte Capsule is a combination of three drugs: Pregabalin, methylcobalamin and alpha-lipoic acid.

Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that helps protect nerve tissues and the brain. Together, Pregalin Forte Capsule helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.
