Description
Pregacent Capsule is used to treat nerve-related pain (neuropathic pain) associated with spinal cord injury, trauma, or degenerative disorders. The primary active ingredient in this medication is pre
gabalin. It helps protect nerve fibers and assists in the repair of damaged nerve cells. Before starting Pregacent Capsule, please inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Share your complete medical history with them. You can take Pregacent Capsule with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day for optimal effectiveness. Your doctor may begin you on a low dose and gradually increase it based on your condition and response to the medication. It might take several weeks for the full effects to become evident. It is essential to follow your doctor’s instructions and take the medication regularly until advised otherwise. Do not skip doses, as this may worsen your condition. Side effects are generally mild and resolve on their own. They may include sleepiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, weight gain, swelling, and difficulties with concentration. Most side effects do not require medical attention, but you should discuss any potential side effects with your doctor. Avoid alcohol while taking this medication, as it may increase feelings of sleepiness and dizziness.
