Pharmacology
Pregabalin is a structural derivative of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It does not bind directly to GABAA, GABAB, or benzodiazepine receptors. Pregabalin binds with high affinity to the alpha-2-delta site (an auxiliary subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels) in central nervous system tissues.
Dosage & Administration
In general, it is recommended that patients be started on a total daily dose no greater than 150 mg/day (75 mg two times a day, or 50 mg three times a day). Based on individual patient response and tolerability, the dose may be increased to a maximum dose of 600 mg/day.
Interaction
There are no significant interactions between Pregabalin with other antiepileptic drugs & oral contraceptives. Pregabalin may potentiate the effects of ethanol and lorazepam.
Contraindications
Pregabalin is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to pregabalin or any of its components.
