Syngab

Description

Syngab 100mg Capsules contain Pregabalin, a medicine used to calm overactive nerves. It helps reduce nerve-related pain and discomfort caused by conditions like diabetes, shingles, or spinal injury. It may also be used to control anxiety and certain types of seizures.

How It Works

Pregabalin works by attaching to overactive nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This reduces the release of pain signals and stabilizes nerve activity, helping relieve pain, reduce anxiety, and prevent seizures.

Uses

Prescribed for:

• Neuropathic pain (nerve pain due to diabetes, shingles, or spinal cord injury)

• Fibromyalgia (widespread muscle and nerve pain)

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in adults

• As an add-on therapy for partial seizures

Doctor’s Review

Dr. Farhan Qureshi, Consultant Neurologist, notes:

“Pregabalin is commonly used in nerve pain and anxiety-related conditions because it helps calm overexcited nerves. It does not act like traditional painkillers but works at the nerve level, which is why it can be effective in long-standing nerve pain syndromes. However, its use should be medically supervised due to the possibility of dizziness and drowsiness.”
