RETERIC 50 mg capsules contain pregabalin as the active ingredient and are primarily used to treat neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, seizures, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
It works by calming overactive nerves in the brain and spinal cord to reduce pain signals and control nerve activity.
Primary Uses
Neuropathic Pain: Treats nerve pain caused by various conditions, including diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes), post-herpetic neuralgia (pain after shingles), and spinal cord injuries.
Fibromyalgia: Helps manage the widespread muscle pain, tenderness, and fatigue associated with fibromyalgia.
Seizures (Epilepsy): Used as an adjunctive (add-on) therapy for adults and children (1 month and older) who have partial-onset seizures.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): In some regions, it is approved for managing symptoms of anxiety in adults.
Important Considerations
Prescription Required: Reteric is a prescription-only medication and should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional.
Do Not Stop Suddenly: Do not stop taking Reteric without consulting your doctor first, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as trouble sleeping, nausea, headaches, or even seizures.
Common Side Effects: Common side effects can include dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, weight gain, blurred vision, and difficulty with concentration.
Alcohol Warning: Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Reteric, as it may increase drowsiness and dizziness.
