About Pregabid Forte 75 Capsule

Pregabid Forte 75 Capsule is a combination medicine used to treat neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or malfunctioning of the nervous system. 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). A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain.

It works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this helps in relieving nerve pain. Mecobalamin helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin.
