About Nurogab 75 Tablet

Nurogab 75 Tablet belongs to a group of medications called 'anti-convulsants', primarily used in the prevention of neuropathic pain, epilepsy (seizure episodes), fibromyalgia (musculoskeletal pain), and neuralgia (pain due to damaged/irritated nerve). Neuropathic pain is chronic nerve pain usually caused by damaged nerves due to a variety of diseases like diabetes, shingles (viral infection that causes a painful rash), spinal cord injury, and injuries to tissue, muscles, or joints.

Nurogab 75 Tablet contains 'Pregabalin', which works by calming the damaged or overactive nerves in the body that may cause nerve or musculoskeletal pain or seizures. Besides this, it also decreases the number of pain signals sent out by damaged nerves in the body.

In some cases, Nurogab 75 Tablet might cause side effects like dizziness, somnolence (sleepiness/drowsiness), dry mouth, oedema (fluid overload with swelling), blurred vision, weight gain and abnormal thinking (difficulty with concentration/attention). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Tell your doctor if you are facing symptoms of suicidal ideation or behaviour, drug addiction, chronic pulmonary insufficiency, muscle pain, soreness, weakness, kidney, liver, or heart diseases.  Caution is required before giving Nurogab 75 Tablet to pregnant or breastfeeding women. The safety and effectiveness in children less than 18 years of age have not been established, so Nurogab 75 Tablet should not be given to them.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Neuropathic pain (nerve pain): It is a chronic nerve pain condition usually caused by damaged or irritated nerves due to conditions like diabetes, shingles (viral infection with painful rash), spinal cord injury, or injuries to tissue/muscles/joints. Symptoms of nerve pain sensation are hot, burning, throbbing, shooting, stabbing, sharp, cramping, tingling, and numbness. 

Fibromyalgia (musculoskeletal pain): It is a chronic condition that may cause pain, muscle stiffness and tenderness, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and mental distress, an impact on physical and social functioning and overall quality of life.

Epilepsy (fits): It is a nervous system disorder with a sudden rush of electricity in the brain due to disturbed nerve cell (neuron) activity in the brain. Seizures are of two types, namely: generalized and partial seizures. Generalized seizures affect the entire brain, whereas partial seizures affect only a part of the brain. Seizures can cause uncontrollable muscle twitches and spasms. Stronger seizures can make people confused or unconscious. Possible causes include high fever, trauma, genetic disorder, brain injury, or stroke.
