Gabasafe 150 MG Capsule 10 contains Pregabalin (150 mg), which works in the body as follows:

• Binds to Calcium Channels: Pregabalin binds to a specific part (alpha2-delta) of voltage-gated calcium channels within your nervous system. These channels play a key role in nerve signalling.

• Reduces Neurotransmitter Release: By binding to these calcium channels, Pregabalin reduces the release of several neurotransmitters, including glutamate, noradrenaline, and substance P.

• Diminishes Aberrant Electrical Activity: The reduction in neurotransmitter release leads to a decrease in abnormal electrical activity within the brain and spinal cord. This results in a decrease in neuropathic pain sensations and anxiety and helps control seizures.
