It is considered one of the best anticonvulsants available in independent pharmacies after approval by the FDA.

Unofficial or off-label uses may include:

  • Anxiety
  • Back pain

How effective is Pregabalin?

The effectiveness of Pregabalin may vary from condition to condition for which the medication is being used.

  • For fibromyalgia, Pregabalin has helped improve quality of life by improving sleep patterns and reducing musculoskeletal pain.
  • For neuralgia, Pregabalin has been an effective form of medication. Be it diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, or central nerve pain, Pregabalin is a reliable form of treatment.

Dosage instructions

Pregabalin comes in various strengths, and the dose of the medicine may vary from person to person, depending on one's strength, tolerance, and medical condition. Seeking medical assistance by consulting a healthcare professional on your dosage is the best option to prevent any adverse side effects.

Dose for onset seizures

  • Adult dosage (18 to 64 years) varies from a usual dose of 150mg daily to the maximum dosage limit of 600mg in 2 to 3 divided doses.
  • Pediatric dosage (4 to 17 years) varies according to age and weight. For children weighing from 11 to 30kg, 3.5mg/kg can be divided throughout the day, whereas, for children weighing 30kg or more, 2.5mg/kg can be divided throughout the day. The maximum dose should not exceed 10 mg/kg (600mg) a day.
  • Senior dosage (65 years and above) depends on the medical condition and history of the individual patient.

Dose for fibromyalgia

  • Adult dosage (18 to 64 years) varies from a standard dose of 75mg twice daily to 450mg maximum.
  • Senior dosage (65 years and above) depends on the individual patient's medical condition, body reaction, and history.

Dose for neuropathic pain

  • Adult dosage (18 to 64 years) from a regular dose of 75mg twice daily to 600mg maximum.
  • Senior dosage (65 years and above) depends on the medical condition and history of the individual patient. However, doses are lower as compared to an average adult.

Dose for diabetic peripheral neuropathy

  • Adult dosage (18 to 64 years) from a regular dose of 50mg thrice a day to 300mg maximum.

Why is Pregabalin considered a good treatment for pain relief?

Pregabalin is considered one of the best treatments for pain relief because it has little or no significant adverse effects and offers management of severe nerve pain. The medication is extraordinarily efficacious as it controls seizure activity. Moreover, Pregabalin may also help children who suffer from partial seizures.

Even the off-label benefits of the drug are impressive. Pregabalin helps manage anxiety, back pains, and alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
