Acute PG 200mg/75mg Tablet SR is a combination of two drugs: Pregabalin (anti-convulsant), and Aceclofenac (NSAID's). Pregabalin belongs to a group of medications called 'anticonvulsants' used to prevent neuropathic pain (pain due to damaged nerves), fibromyalgia (musculoskeletal pain), and epilepsy (fits). It works by calming the damaged or overactive nerves in your body that may cause pain or seizures, thereby decreasing the number of pain signals sent out by damaged nerves in the body. Overall it reduces the pain which has been damaged or irritated due to conditions like chronic conditions, diabetes, trauma, or epilepsy. Aceclofenac belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) used to reduce and relieve pain, redness, and inflammation (swelling) in patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Acute PG 200mg/75mg Tablet SR works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes another chemical 'prostaglandins' (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced. This helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Acute PG 200mg/75mg Tablet SR helps to treat neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage).
