Pharmacology:
PEGALIN ER (extended-release) contains pregabalin, which acts on the central nervous system by modifying the release of certain neurotransmitters responsible for transmitting pain and anxiety signals. The extended-release formulation ensures that the medication is gradually released over time, providing sustained therapeutic effects. It helps in reducing neuropathic pain, managing anxiety, and controlling seizures effectively.
Dosage:
-
For neuropathic pain: The usual starting dose is 82.5 mg once daily, which may be increased according to the doctor’s recommendations.
-
For generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): The recommended starting dose is 82.5 mg daily, with the possibility of dose adjustment based on individual needs.
-
For seizures: The dosage should be adjusted as per the patient's specific requirements and medical advice.
Administration:
PEGALIN ER 82.5 MG should be taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole, without chewing or crushing. The exact dosage will be determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's condition.
Interaction:
-
PEGALIN ER may increase the sedative effects when taken with other central nervous system depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids.
-
It may also interact with other anticonvulsant or antidepressant medications. Always inform your doctor about all the medicines you're currently taking.
Contraindications:
-
PEGALIN ER is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to pregabalin or any of its components.
-
It is not recommended for use in individuals with severe renal impairment unless dose adjustments are made.

Serious side effects may include swelling of the hands, legs, or feet, difficulty breathing, or changes in mood. Seek immediate medical help if these occur.
Pregnancy & Lactation:
-
Pregnancy: PEGALIN ER should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the risks to the fetus.
-
Lactation: PEGALIN ER is excreted in breast milk in small amounts. It should only be used during breastfeeding if the benefits outweigh the potential risks.
