Uses

CABALIN 50mg SR is indicated for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic neuropathy, post‑herpetic neuralgia, spinal cord injury, and fibromyalgia. It is also used as adjunctive therapy in partial seizures and for generalized anxiety disorder. By modulating calcium channels in the nervous system, pregabalin reduces abnormal electrical activity and dampens pain signals, thereby improving patient comfort and quality of life.

Dosage and Administration

The capsules should be taken orally, swallowed whole with water, and not chewed or crushed. The sustained‑release formulation is usually taken once daily, depending on the patient’s condition and medical advice. Dosage adjustments must always be made under medical supervision.
Special Populations and Precautions
CABALIN should be used cautiously in patients with renal impairment, as dose adjustments may be necessary. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use it if clearly indicated by a physician. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to pregabalin. Alcohol should be avoided during treatment, as it may increase dizziness and drowsiness.
