Overview
Novugab 50mg Capsule contains pregabalin 50mg, a medicine structurally related to the neurotransmitter GABA, used to treat neuropathic pain, as an add-on treatment for certain types of epilepsy, and for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD).
Pregabalin works by binding to a specific subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the nervous system, which reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters. This calms overactive nerve signalling, helping to relieve nerve pain, reduce seizure activity, and ease excessive anxiety.
How it Works
Pregabalin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels on nerve endings, reducing the calcium influx that triggers the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate. By calming this overactive signalling, pregabalin reduces the transmission of pain signals, dampens abnormal electrical activity associated with seizures, and eases the excessive neuronal excitability linked to anxiety.
Directions for Use
Take Novugab 50mg Capsule with or without food, swallowing the capsule whole with water. Take it at evenly spaced times each day as prescribed. Do not stop this medicine suddenly, even if you feel well, as your doctor will need to reduce the dose gradually over at least a week to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
Dosage
The starting dose of Novugab 50mg Capsule is usually low and gradually increased by your doctor based on your response and tolerability, typically given in two or three divided doses per day. The exact dose depends on the condition being treated (nerve pain, epilepsy, or anxiety) and your kidney function, so your doctor will individualise your regimen.
