Active Ingredient & Action

PREGABALIN is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analog that binds to the alpha2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This action is thought to modulate the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, such as glutamate and aspartate, and inhibit the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, which may contribute to the therapeutic effects of SANDOZ PREGABALIN in the treatment of epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and fibromyalgia.
