Preneu 50mg Capsule contains pregabalin as its active ingredient. It is available in capsule form and is prescribed for various neurological conditions.
Active Ingredient:
- Pregabalin: Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant and neuropathic pain agent. It works by binding to calcium channels in the central nervous system, reducing the release of neurotransmitters involved in pain transmission.
Uses:
Preneu 50mg Capsule is used for the treatment of the following conditions:
- Neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy
- Postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain following shingles)
- Fibromyalgia
- Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
- Epilepsy (as adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures)
Mechanism of Action:
Pregabalin exerts its pharmacological effects by binding to the α2-δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This inhibits the release of neurotransmitters such as glutamate, noradrenaline, and substance P, thereby reducing excitatory neurotransmission and dampening neuronal hyperexcitability, which contributes to its analgesic and anxiolytic properties.

Preneu 50mg Capsule is taken orally with water. The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual’s medical condition and response to therapy. It can be taken with or without food.
