About Pregastar Plus Sr 75mg Tablet 15's

Pregastar Plus Sr 75mg Tablet 15's is a combination of medicine that belongs to the class of medicines known as ‘anticonvulsant'. It is primarily used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic nerve pain usually caused by damaged nerves due to a variety of diseases like diabetes, shingles (viral infection that causes a painful rash) or spinal cord injury, injuries to tissue, muscles or joints.

Pregastar Plus Sr 75mg Tablet 15's contains four medicines namely Pregabalin, Mecobalamin, Folic acid and Pyridoxine.

Mecobalamin and pyridoxine both are forms of vitamin B and helps in the reconstruction and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. A folic acid is also a form of vitamin B that helps in providing essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, Pregastar Plus Sr 75mg Tablet 15's helps in providing relief from neuropathic (damage nerve) pain.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused due to damage to sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain is not triggered by an injury, the body unpromptedly sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).
