Pregabalin (PGB) is a latest generation anti-epileptic which is indicated in partial epilepsies with or without secondary generalization, in combination, in adults. It also has indications in the treatment of neuropathic pain and generalized anxiety disorders in adults. Its tolerance is good with the exception of drowsiness, confusion, even irritability (especially in the elderly).

As a general rule, Pregabalin (PGB) is used twice a day. Your pharmacist may have given you a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. It is not recommended to suddenly stop taking this product, especially if it has been used for several weeks. If you want to stop using it, discuss it with your pharmacist. To maintain its beneficial effects, it must be used regularly and continuously. Make sure you never run out. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, just skip the missed dose. Do not double the next dose to try to catch up.

Pregabalin (PGB) can be taken with or without food, without regard to meals or snacks. The amount of alcohol can affect the product. It is therefore recommended that you avoid taking alcohol or products that contain it while using this medication.

⚠ Pregabalin is classified as a Class C controlled substance. This drug is licensed to treat epilepsy, anxiety, peripheral and neuropathic pain (pain caused by damage or injury to nerves), but is known to produce feelings of euphoria, calm and relaxation. It is this mixed profile of effects that has contributed to its wide use. But this drug can also have serious side effects, especially when combined with other drugs – and has been linked to illicit drug use. Under the new classification, it is also now illegal to possess this drug without a prescription, and it is illegal to supply or sell pregabalin to others.
