Pregabanyl-300 Capsule contains Pregabalin (300 mg) which has the following effects on your body:

Binding to alpha2-delta site: Pregabalin binds to a specific site in your nervous system known as the alpha2-delta site. This is an auxiliary subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels.
Reducing calcium influx: By binding to the alpha2-delta site, pregabalin reduces calcium influx into nerve terminals in your nervous system.
Modulating neurotransmitter release: The reduced calcium influx leads to a decrease in the release of certain neurotransmitters like glutamate, noradrenaline, and substance P, which play a role in transmitting pain signals.
Alleviating neuropathic pain and controlling partial seizures: By reducing neuronal excitability through the above mechanisms, pregabalin helps manage neuropathic pain and control partial seizures.
