Medicine Name: Gabica Capsules 50mg
✅ Gabica Capsules Specification
📌 Requires Prescription:
Yes
💊 Generics:
Pregabalin
⚕️ Used For:
 Neuropathic pain (e.g., diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia)
 Spinal cord injury-associated pain
 Adjunctive therapy for partial seizures (with or without secondary generalization)
 Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

⚙️ How It Works:
Pregabalin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in central
nervous system (CNS) tissues. This reduces calcium influx into neurons, decreasing
neurotransmitter release and neuronal excitability—leading to pain relief, anxiolytic, and
anticonvulsant effects.
