Description

Reteric (150mg) is the highest common strength in this range of nerve pain and anxiety medicine containing Pregabalin, manufactured by High-Q Pharma. As with lower 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 used for patients who need more significant symptom control than lower doses provide, typically once a doctor has assessed the response to earlier treatment. Pregabalin at this strength 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 (150mg) capsule contains Pregabalin at a strength of 150mg, 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 (150mg) 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 helps calm 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. Since this is the highest common strength in this range, it’s especially important to follow your doctor’s specific prescribed schedule rather than adjusting the dose independently, as this strength is typically reached gradually from lower doses based on individual response and tolerability. 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 and fluid retention have also been reported, along with visual disturbances such as blurred or double vision in some patients. Because this is a higher strength, these effects may be somewhat more noticeable for certain individuals, particularly when the dose is first increased. 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 a doctor prescribe 150mg instead of a lower strength?
This strength is generally used when a patient needs more substantial symptom control than lower doses provide, based on their doctor’s ongoing assessment of treatment response.

Are side effects more likely at this higher dose?
Some side effects, such as drowsiness and dizziness, may be somewhat more noticeable at higher doses, particularly when the dose is first increased.

Can I combine this medicine with other central nervous system medicines?
This should only be done under close medical supervision, since combining pregabalin with other CNS depressants, such as opioids or benzodiazepines, can increase certain risks.

Should I continue this medicine even if I feel better?
Yes, this medicine is generally meant for ongoing management of chronic conditions, and you shouldn’t stop or change your dose without your doctor’s guidance, even if symptoms improve.
