Working Mechanism Of 150mg Pregabalin

• Epilepsy- Nervigesic helps in epilepsy by calming down the unusual electric signals in the brain. These signals are what cause seizures. By reducing this abnormal activity, Nervigesic helps prevent seizures from happening.

• Nerve Pain- When you experience nerve pain, the nerves send extra-strong pain messages to your brain. This chronic pain drug blocks these messages that help to alleviate the pain.

• Anxiety- Anxiety often occurs when the brain releases too many chemicals that make you feel worried or tense. Nervigesic helps slow down the release of these chemicals, helps to reduce feelings of anxiety, and makes you feel more at ease.
