What is Pregabalin and what is it used for

Pregabalin is used to treat some types of persistent pain. It is especially good for nerve pain, such as burning, shooting or stabbing pain. Pregabalin belongs to a group of medicines called anticonvulsants, which are also used to treat epilepsy.

Pregabalin works by changing the way that nerves send messages to your brain. If the messages are reduced, then the pain will be reduced.
