About this product
Overview
Gablin 150mg Capsule contains the active ingredient pregabalin, which belongs to the class of medications known as anticonvulsants. It is primarily prescribed for the management of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and spinal cord injury. Pregabalin works by binding to calcium channels in the central nervous system, which modulates the release of neurotransmitters involved in pain signaling, thereby reducing pain sensations.
