Pregabalin 300mg, marketed under the brand name Lyrica, is a medication primarily used to treat neuropathic pain, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, and generalized anxiety disorder. It belongs to the class of drugs known as anticonvulsants or antiepileptics. Pregabalin works by reducing the abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can lead to seizures and by altering the way pain signals are sent by damaged nerves.
Neuropathic Pain: Pregabalin is widely prescribed for the management of neuropathic pain, which can occur due to various conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia (shingles), spinal cord injury, or fibromyalgia. By calming overactive nerves, it helps alleviate the burning, shooting, or stabbing pain associated with these conditions.
