Gablin

Gablin contains pregabalin, a medicine that works on the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. It helps reduce abnormal nerve signals, making it useful for nerve pain, seizures, and certain chronic conditions. It is often prescribed for patients with diabetic nerve pain, postherpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and as supportive therapy for seizures.

Primary Uses

• Neuropathic pain in diabetic patients

• Nerve pain after shingles (postherpetic neuralgia)

• Partial-onset seizures (as add-on therapy)

• Fibromyalgia (chronic widespread pain and fatigue)

• Neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury

Side Effects
Some patients may feel dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, or swelling in the hands and feet. Other side effects can include weight gain, dry mouth, or difficulty concentrating. Rarely, allergic reactions or mood changes can occur.

Warnings
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use this medicine on a doctor’s advice. Gablin may cause dizziness and drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel unsteady. Patients with kidney problems or heart failure need special care when taking this medicine.

Precautions
Use with caution if you have a history of substance abuse, as pregabalin can sometimes cause dependence. Inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, especially those that depress the nervous system, as interactions may increase drowsiness.

Contraindications
Do not use Gablin if you are allergic to pregabalin. It should also be avoided in patients with severe heart failure unless prescribed by a specialist.

Doctor’s Review
“As a neurologist, I prescribe Gablin for patients with chronic nerve pain and seizure disorders. It provides good relief for conditions like diabetic neuropathy and fibromyalgia, and many patients report improved quality of life. I always advise patients to start at the lowest effective dose and avoid sudden discontinuation, as this can worsen symptoms. It is well tolerated when used responsibly under medical supervision.”
— Dr. Salman Raza, Consultant Neurologist
