Act Pregabalin How to Take

Pregabalin belongs to the class of medication known as analgesics. It is used to relieve neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral Neuropathy (pain from damaged nerves due to Diabetes) and postherpetic neuralgia (persisting pain following healing of the rash due to Shingles).

Pregabalin is also used to relieve pain associated with fibromyalgia (pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons). It is also useful in managing central neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves of the brain and spinal cord).

Pain from damaged nerves may feel sharp, burning, tingling, shooting, or numb. It is not known exactly how pregabalin works, but it is thought to work in the brain to decrease the release of chemicals responsible for pain. For some people, improvement in pain may occur as early as the first week of treatment with pregabalin.

Act Pregabalin may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Act Pregabalin may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Act Pregabalin may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Act Pregabalin for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Act Pregabalin, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Act Pregabalin without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Act Pregabalin to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Act Pregabalin if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Act Pregabalin Precautions

There may be an interaction between pregabalin and any of the following:

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

  • stop taking one of the medications,
  • change one of the medications to another,
  • change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
  • leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Act Pregabalin. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Act Pregabalin Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Act Pregabalin.

Allergic reaction: Some people have developed a serious allergic reaction called angioedema to Act Pregabalin. Symptoms include swelling of the face, mouth (lips, gums, tongue), neck, throat, and upper airway. If these occur, seek immediate medical attention.

Central nervous system (CNS) depressants: Taking CNS depressants such as opiates (e.g., Morphine, Codeine) and benzodiazepines (e.g., Diazepam, Lorazepam) or alcohol while taking pregabalin could result in excessive sleepiness or drowsiness and even coma. Talk to your doctor if you are taking these medications.

Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Pregabalin may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Do not engage in activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, until you know how Act Pregabalin affects you.

Drinking alcohol while you are taking pregabalin may make these effects stronger. It is strongly recommended that you avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking pregabalin.

Gastrointestinal problems: Pregabalin can cause constipation. When taken with other medications that cause constipation, such as narcotic pain relievers or some antidepressants, the combination may cause blockage of the digestive system. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for suggestions on how to manage constipation.

Heart problems: Pregabalin may cause fluid to build up in the body. If the fluid accumulates around the lungs or heart, symptoms of heart failure may become worse. If you have heart failure or other heart problems, discuss with your doctor how Act Pregabalin may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Act Pregabalin, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Report any signs of heart problems getting worse, such as difficulty breathing, rapid weight gain or chest pain to your doctor immediately.

Kidney function: Pregabalin is primarily eliminated from the body by the kidneys. Kidney Disease or decreased kidney function may cause Act Pregabalin to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how Act Pregabalin may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Act Pregabalin, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Pregabalin may reduce kidney function and can cause kidney failure. If you notice any signs of your kidneys not working well, such as decreased amounts of urine being produced, swelling of the legs and ankles, difficulty urinating, or an increased need to urinate at night, contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Male fertility: Animal studies have shown the use of pregabalin to be associated with decreased fertility, sperm abnormalities, and birth defects. It is not known if these effects would happen in people. If you plan to father a child, discuss using Act Pregabalin with your doctor first.

Muscle pain: If you experience muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness with or without fever, contact your doctor immediately.

Skin problems: Pregabalin may cause skin ulcers or sores. Pay extra attention to your skin while taking Act Pregabalin, especially if you have diabetes. If you notice any new skin sores or skin problems let your doctor know.

Stopping Act Pregabalin: Stopping pregabalin suddenly may result in withdrawal symptoms such as Insomnia, nausea, headache, Diarrhea, and seizures. If it is necessary to stop taking Act Pregabalin, talk to your doctor about the best way to reduce your dose before stopping your medication.

Suicidal behaviour: People taking Act Pregabalin may feel that they may want to hurt themselves or others. These symptoms may occur within several weeks after starting Act Pregabalin. If you experience these side effects or notice them in a family member who is taking Act Pregabalin, contact your doctor immediately. You should be closely monitored by your doctor for emotional and behaviour changes while taking Act Pregabalin.

Vision disturbances: Pregabalin may cause disturbances in your vision such as blurred vision, double vision, and vision loss. Report any changes in your vision to your doctor immediately.

Weight gain: Pregabalin may cause weight gain and swelling of the extremities. Report any significant weight gain or any swelling of the legs, arms, or other areas of the body to your doctor.

Pregnancy: Information about the safety and effectiveness of using pregabalin during pregnancy is limited. Act Pregabalin should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Act Pregabalin, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: Act Pregabalin passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking pregabalin, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children and adolescents: The safety and effectiveness of using Act Pregabalin have not been established for children and adolescents less than 18 years of age.

Seniors: The effectiveness of the kidneys in removing pregabalin from the body tends to decrease with age. Seniors may need lower doses of Act Pregabalin to reduce the possibility for side effects.
