PYROPE 50 10'S

About

PYROPE 50, containing Pregabalin 50mg, is an anticonvulsant and neuropathic pain agent. It works by binding to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This action reduces the release of several excitatory neurotransmitters, thereby decreasing nerve hyperexcitability and modulating pain signals. Pregabalin is widely used to manage various forms of chronic neuropathic pain, including diabetic neuropathy and post-herpetic neuralgia, as well as fibromyalgia.

Additionally, it is effective in treating generalized anxiety disorder and as an adjunctive therapy for partial onset seizures. Its mechanism of action provides significant relief from nerve-related pain and anxiety symptoms, improving the quality of life for patients suffering from these debilitating conditions. It is a non-opioid option for chronic pain management.
