About Galinerve 150mg Capsule

Galinerve 150mg Capsule 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.

Galinerve 150mg Capsule 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, Galinerve 150mg Capsule 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 Galinerve 150mg Capsule to pregnant or breastfeeding women. The safety and effectiveness in children less than 18 years of age have not been established, so Galinerve 150mg Capsule should not be given to them.
