Pharmacology:
Pregabalin is a structural derivative of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. It does not bind directly to GABA receptors but binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the CNS, reducing calcium influx and decreasing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters. The extended-release formulation allows once-daily dosing with sustained therapeutic effects.
