Pregabalin 300 mg Capsules – High-Strength Nerve Pain & Seizure Relief
Pregabalin 300 mg is a powerful nerve-calming medication used to treat severe neuropathic pain, partial seizures, fibromyalgia, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It works by modulating nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord to reduce pain, seizures, and anxiety. This 300 mg strength is intended for patients who have already built tolerance to lower doses.
Key Benefits:
- Highly effective for chronic nerve pain (e.g., diabetic neuropathy, shingles)
- Adjunct therapy for partial seizures in adults
- Relieves fibromyalgia-related pain and fatigue
- Calms anxiety symptoms and improves sleep quality
- Generic version of Lyrica® – cost-effective treatment
How to Use:
Take one capsule (300 mg) once daily or as prescribed. Swallow with water, with or without food. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. Abrupt discontinuation may lead to withdrawal symptoms — taper gradually under medical supervision.
Common Conditions Treated:
- Severe diabetic neuropathy
- Postherpetic neuralgia (shingles-related nerve pain)
- Partial-onset seizures (in combination therapy)
- Fibromyalgia
- Generalized anxiety disorder (off-label in some regions)
Precautions:
- May cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision — avoid operating machinery
- Inform your doctor of kidney disease, pregnancy, or breastfeeding status
- Avoid alcohol while on Pregabalin — it enhances sedation
- Do not stop use suddenly — risk of withdrawal effects
- Monitor for mood changes or suicidal thoughts during long-term use
