a prescription medication used primarily for managing nerve pain and as an add-on treatment for partial seizures. It contains 300mg of pregabalin (or sometimes gabapentin, depending on the specific product formulation and region).
Key Information
Active Ingredient: The active ingredient is typically pregabalin. Some formulations (e.g., “Gablin M Tablet”) may also contain methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12).
Uses: It is prescribed for various conditions, including:
Neuropathic pain (nerve pain), such as that associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia (shingles pain), and spinal cord injury.
Fibromyalgia (a condition causing widespread muscle and joint pain, fatigue, and sleep problems).
Adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures in adults.
Generalized anxiety disorder in adults.
Mechanism of Action: Pregabalin works by binding to a specific part of nerve cells (the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels) in the central nervous system, which helps to reduce the release of certain chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) and calm overactive nerve signals.
Administration: It is taken orally with or without food, usually two or three times a day, as directed by a healthcare professional. The capsules should be swallowed whole.
Prescription Required: Gablin is a prescription-only medicine.
