Pregastar 75 Capsule 15's

Pregastar 75 Capsule 15's 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.

Pregastar 75 Capsule 15's 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.

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.
