Overview

PREGABALIN   What is pregabalin. Pregabalin is a medication that mimics gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the body. GABA is responsible for inhibiting neurons that produce an excitatory signal. In pain or seizures, neurons constantly fire, inducing an excitatory response. GABA works to calm these neurons and return them to normalcy. Pregabalin is commonly used for neuropathy (nerve pain) and those affected with partial seizures [1].
