Description

Description

Reteric (100mg) is a further increased strength of this nerve pain and anxiety medicine containing Pregabalin, manufactured by High-Q Pharma. Like the 50mg and 75mg strengths, it works by calming overactive nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord to help manage neuropathic pain, certain seizure disorders, and generalized anxiety disorder. This strength is generally reached once a doctor has assessed a patient’s response to lower doses and determined that stronger nerve pain or symptom control is needed. Pregabalin is commonly used for conditions such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, spinal cord injury-related pain, and as an add-on treatment for partial-onset seizures. The pack contains 14 capsules and is meant to be used consistently, exactly as prescribed by a doctor.

Ingredients

Each Reteric (100mg) capsule contains Pregabalin at a strength of 100mg, combined with standard pharmaceutical excipients that make up the capsule’s shell and filling. The full therapeutic effect comes from the pregabalin content alone.

Dosage Form

This medicine is supplied as an oral capsule, meant to be swallowed with a glass of water, generally taken two to three times daily as directed by a doctor.

Uses

Reteric (100mg) is used for managing neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and spinal cord injury, as well as fibromyalgia syndrome. It’s also used as an adjunctive treatment for adults with partial-onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization, and for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in adults. Pregabalin works by binding to specific subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system, reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate, norepinephrine, and substance P, which calms overactive nerve activity responsible for pain, seizures, and anxiety symptoms.

How to Use

Reteric should be taken with a glass of water, generally divided into two or three doses throughout the day, with or without food, exactly as directed by a doctor. This strength is often reached through a gradual increase from lower doses based on individual response and tolerability, so it’s important to follow your doctor’s specific prescribed schedule rather than adjusting the dose independently. This medicine should not be stopped abruptly, since doing so can cause withdrawal-related symptoms. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered, provided it isn’t too close to the time of the next scheduled dose, in which case it should be skipped rather than doubled.

Side Effects

Commonly reported side effects include drowsiness and dizziness, which may impair the ability to drive or operate machinery until you know how this medicine affects you. Weight gain, believed to be related to increased appetite and fluid retention, has also been reported. Less commonly, visual disturbances such as blurred or double vision can occur, and swelling of the hands or feet has been reported by some patients. In the case of a suspected overdose, symptoms may include severe drowsiness, blurred vision, slurred speech, impaired coordination, and in more serious cases, slowed breathing, which requires prompt medical attention.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

The use of Reteric during pregnancy and breastfeeding should only be considered if a doctor determines the potential benefit outweighs any possible risk, since safety data in these situations may be limited. Anyone who is pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss their treatment options with their doctor rather than continuing or starting this medicine independently.

Storage Instructions

Store Reteric capsules in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, avoiding storage in the bathroom or kitchen where humidity and heat levels are higher. Keep the capsules out of reach of children and pets. Any expired or unused capsules should be disposed of properly rather than through household waste.

FAQs

Why would this higher strength be prescribed?
The 100mg strength is generally used once a doctor determines that stronger nerve pain or symptom control is needed, based on a patient’s response to lower doses.

Can this medicine affect my kidney function monitoring?
Pregabalin is primarily eliminated through the kidneys, so patients with kidney impairment may need dose adjustments, which should be determined and monitored by their doctor.

Should I avoid alcohol while taking this medicine?
Yes, alcohol can increase drowsiness and other central nervous system effects, so it’s best to avoid it while on this medicine.

What should I do if I suspect an overdose?
This should be treated as a medical emergency — seek immediate medical attention, especially if symptoms like severe drowsiness, slurred speech, or slowed breathing occur.
