Pharmacology:
PEGALIN ER (extended-release) contains pregabalin, a medication that acts on the central nervous system by modifying the release of certain neurotransmitters. By binding to calcium channels in the brain and spinal cord, it reduces the transmission of pain signals and controls seizures and anxiety. The extended-release formulation allows for a prolonged therapeutic effect throughout the day.
Dosage:
For neuropathic pain: The typical starting dose is 165 mg once a day, with the dose possibly adjusted by the doctor based on response and tolerance.
For generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): Start with 165 mg daily, and dosage can be increased based on individual requirements.
For seizure adjunct: The dosage should be determined by the healthcare provider according to the individual’s condition.
Administration:
PEGALIN ER should be taken orally once a day. The tablet should be swallowed whole and should not be chewed or crushed. It can be taken with or without food. The exact dosage and frequency should be followed as per the doctor’s instructions.
Interaction:
PEGALIN ER may interact with other medications that depress the central nervous system, such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids, leading to enhanced sedative effects.
It may also interact with certain anti-epileptic drugs, so it's essential to inform the healthcare provider about all concurrent medications.
Contraindications:
PEGALIN ER is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to pregabalin or any other component of the formulation.
Not recommended for use in severe renal impairment unless the dosage is adjusted by a healthcare professional.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision.
Serious side effects may include swelling of the limbs, trouble breathing, and mood changes. Seek immediate medical help if these occur.
Pregnancy & Lactation:
Pregnancy: PEGALIN ER should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit justifies the risk to the fetus.
Lactation: PEGALIN ER may pass into breast milk. It should only be used during breastfeeding if the benefits outweigh the potential risks.
Precautions & Warnings:
Patients with kidney issues should use PEGALIN ER with caution and under strict medical supervision.
Abrupt discontinuation of the drug may cause withdrawal symptoms or an increase in seizure frequency.
Monitor for weight gain, fluid retention, and other side effects regularly.
