About this product
Overview
Orgab 50mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Pregabalin, which is an anticonvulsant and neuropathic pain medication. It is a prescription drug that affects the release of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, helping to decrease nerve-related pain signals and alleviate seizures in certain conditions.
Uses
- Neuropathic Pain: Orgab 50mg Tablet is primarily used for the management of neuropathic pain, which is caused by damage or dysfunction of the nerves. It is often prescribed for conditions like diabetic neuropathy (nerve pain due to diabetes), postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain following shingles), and fibromyalgia (chronic pain and tenderness in muscles and soft tissues).
- Epilepsy: Pregabalin is also indicated as an adjunctive therapy (additional treatment) for partial-onset seizures in adults with epilepsy.

In some cases, individuals may experience more severe side effects, such as:
- Mood Changes: Including symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts.
