Pregabalin

What is Pregabalin Used for?

Pregabalin is a multi-purpose medication that is used as a painkiller but can also be used to treat a multitude of other conditions, such as anxiety and epilepsy. When used as a painkiller, it is typically used to treat nerve pain from conditions such as diabetes or shingles. It was discovered in 1990, as scientists were trying to discover medications that could be used as an anticonvulsant. Following long medical trials, it was approved in 2004 in the European Union, and in 2007 in the United States of America, where it is most commonly known under the brand name Lyrica.

Pregabalin is an especially important medication due to its use in treating nerve pain. People who suffer from nerve pain often describe that even ordinary skin contact, such as a light touch on the arm, can be incredibly painful. This can make it difficult for those who suffer from it, as they can struggle to maintain a normal life, such as entering relationships or holding down a job.

Fortunately, here at fastpharmacy4u.com, we not only have pregabalin available for immediate purchase, but a range of other pain medications, available without prescription and delivered to your door within a matter of days from purchase.

How Pregabalin Works?

Although many studies have been conducted on pregabalin, scientists are not still entirely sure if they are fully aware of the method by which it acts as a painkiller for neuropathic pain. One thing they do know for certain is that it is entirely safe and extremely effective. It was found that patients taking pregabalin for neuropathic pain experienced an improvement of over 50% in the severity of pain they were experiencing before taking the medication.

The scientists that have studied pregabalin believe that it works by affecting Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), a brain chemical that is responsible for reducing over-excited neurons in the central nervous system. However, it does not enhance it directly, like many anti-anxiety medications such as benzodiazepines like diazepam do.

It increases L-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which is the enzyme that is responsible for processing GABA in the body. This indirectly affects GABA to calm anxiety, reduce seizures and treat neuropathic pain, by reducing the signals sent to and from the brain around the rest of the central nervous system.

Available Pregabalin Dosage

Pregabalin is available in a wide variety of dosages, as the dose you should take varies depending on the condition you are taking it for. The available doses currently being sold are 25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg, 225 mg, and 300 mg. The dose that you should take depends on the condition you are taking it for. For example:

• Seizures - For conditions such as epilepsy, it is recommended that you start by taking 150 mg per day, with a dose taken every 8-12 hours, depending on what works more effectively for you to manage your seizures. From there, the dose can be increased if needed, up to 600 mg per day, the maximum recommended dose.
• Anxiety - For anxiety, the same doses are recommended as those for seizures, with a starting dose of 150 mg per day split between 2-3 doses, and a maximum daily dose of 600 mg, split between 2-3 doses.
• Neuropathic pain - For nerve pain, it is recommended that you take 150 mg split between 2 doses, for 3-7 days. After this point, if the pain is still too much, you can increase the dose to 150 mg twice a day for 3-7 days. This can be increased to a maximum of 300 mg taken twice a day.

If you have bought 300 mg pregabalin tablets, and need to get a smaller dose, this can be done by splitting the tablet. So, for example, if you want to get a 150 mg dose, you can split the tablet into halves. To get a 75 mg pregabalin dose, you can split a tablet into quarters.

How to Take Pregabalin?

You should take this medication split evenly throughout the day. If you tend to take pregabalin at a particular time, you should continue to take it at similar times the next day. For example, if you take the medication usually at 9 am and 9 pm, you should do the same every day. This is to ensure constant levels of pregabalin in your system. Equally, although you can take this medication with or without food, you should remain consistent, to ensure that the effects are predictable. As it is a hard tablet, this medication should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.

There are some pain management methods you can use alongside pregabalin, to increase its effectiveness. Some of these are:

• Exercise. Light, regular exercise such as walking has been found to increase the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. Additionally, exercise is known to increase blood flow around the body, which can help the blood to reach our nerves, keeping them as healthy as possible.
• Taking a bath. Having a warm bath can be an inexpensive and easy way of helping to treat neuropathic pain, as it increases blood flow and reduces stress.

How Long Does Pregabalin Last?

The half-life of this medication, which is how long it takes for half of the medication to be eliminated from the body, is 6.3 hours, however, the medication will still be detectable in urine for up to 5 days after consumption.

Pregabalin is processed via the kidneys and tends to stay in the system for around 33-35 hours on average, but its effects of it will wear off much sooner than this. How long the effects last depends on an array of factors, but typically people find that they start to wane after 6 hours. Please note that pregabalin is not like many other painkillers. It takes at least 1 to 2 weeks of regular use before its effects of it can start to be felt, however, this can be longer under certain conditions:

• Age - it is often found that older people process medications slower than younger adults. This is often down to a range of factors, such as organ function, other medications they are taking, and genetic differences.
• Dosage - this one seems obvious, however, the more of a medication like pregabalin you take, the more likely it is to last for longer.

Is Pregabalin Safe?

Like many medications, pregabalin is entirely safe to take, if you adhere to the recommended dosage and usage instructions. It is approved for use by multiple health regulatory agencies in countries all over the world. This includes the United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), an agency that has offices all over the world.

When medications like pregabalin are approved for use by these agencies, it not only means they are safe to take but also effective for their intended purpose. There are some people however who should not take this medication or should take a reduced dose, such as if you have a known hypersensitivity or are allergic to pregabalin. This is extremely rare, however, as with any medication, some people are thought to be allergic to pregabalin.

This medication should also be used with caution if you are hypersensitive to gabapentin, as the two medications are so similar structurally. An allergic reaction to this medication can express itself as a rash or difficulty breathing. If you experience either of these after taking pregabalin, speak to a medical professional immediately.

Learn About Pregabalin Side Effects

Every medication has some side effects, and pregabalin is no different. Fortunately, the effects experienced from taking pregabalin are not strong when compared to many other medications. Some of the side effects you may experience are:

• Dizziness and drowsiness - the most common side effect of this medication, while still not occurring to many people, dizziness can sometimes be experienced. This is due to how it affects the central nervous system. If you feel dizzy or drowsy while taking this medication, we recommend that you rest until the feeling passes.
• Xerostomia, otherwise known as 'dry mouth' - this is also a side effect known to occur in some who take pregabalin. If you experience xerostomia while taking this medication, we recommend keeping as hydrated as possible to mitigate the effects. There are also other steps you can take to reduce the dryness, such as chewing sugar-free gum, reducing your intake of caffeine, which can make the mouth drier, and stopping smoking.

For a full list of side effects, read the patient information leaflet.

Why Buy Pregabalin Online?

There is a range of reasons to buy pregabalin online. Firstly, is the availability of generic medications. When obtaining medications from a doctor or pharmacy, you usually only get the choice of one or two brands maximum that you can take. However, when purchasing medications online, you have access to generic versions. Although the original brand is called Lyrica, the patent on this expired in 2019, meaning that a wide range of other pharmaceutical manufacturers can now make this medication, using the same active ingredient, pregabalin.

These medications are identical in many ways to the original brand medication, they contain the same active ingredient, have the same effects and side effects, and are used for the same purposes. Equally, there are differences, they do not use the same packaging, the tablets themselves may look different, and often they are significantly cheaper than the branded form. This means that you do not only get the same medication, which is equally as effective and safe as the branded version, but you get to save money at the same time.
