Product Details
Ebalin Tablets 50mg contain the active ingredient pregabalin, which works by binding to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This interaction reduces neuronal calcium currents, which is believed to play a role in alleviating neuropathic pain, anxiety, and other related pain syndromes. Ebalin provides targeted relief for a variety of conditions by modulating neurotransmitter release.
Purposes
Ebalin Tablets 50mg are primarily used for:
- Neuropathic Pain Management: Effective for diabetic peripheral neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia.
- Spinal Cord Injury Pain: Helps in managing pain associated with spinal cord injuries.
- Seizure Adjunct Therapy: Used as an adjunctive therapy for partial seizures with or without secondary generalization.
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Provides relief from symptoms of GAD in adults.
- Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS): Assists in the management of fibromyalgia symptoms.
Warnings
Ebalin should be discontinued immediately if symptoms of angioedema occur, such as facial, perioral, or upper airway swelling. The medication may cause weight gain, which is dose-dependent and could require adjustments in diabetic patients' hypoglycemic medications. Additionally, Ebalin may lead to dizziness and somnolence, affecting the ability to drive or operate machinery, particularly in the elderly.
Adverse Effects
Common side effects of Ebalin Tablets 50mg include dizziness, drowsiness, and increased appetite. Other effects may involve gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, constipation), neurological symptoms (headache, blurred vision), and weight gain. Less common but serious side effects can include angioedema and severe allergic reactions.
Cautions
Patients should discontinue Ebalin gradually to avoid increased seizure frequency, particularly if the medication needs to be stopped. Those with a known hypersensitivity to pregabalin or its components, as well as individuals with rare hereditary problems such as galactose intolerance or glucose-galactose malabsorption, should avoid using this medication. Monitoring for weight changes is advised, and caution is recommended when performing tasks requiring alertness.
This detailed overview ensures that Ebalin Tablets 50mg are used safely and effectively. Always consult your healthcare provider for tailored medical advice.
