Clinical Overview

Pregabalin is an analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that acts as a potent ligand at the alpha-2-delta auxiliary subunit of presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. By reducing calcium influx into hyper-excited neurons, it curbs the pathological release of glutamate, substance P, and calcitonin gene-related peptide. Indicated for neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures.
