Description

Reteric (50mg) is a medicine containing Pregabalin as its active ingredient, used to manage neuropathic pain, certain types of seizures, and generalized anxiety disorder. It belongs to a class of medicines that work on nerve activity in the brain and spinal cord, helping to calm overactive nerve signals responsible for pain, seizures, or anxiety symptoms, depending on the condition being treated. Pregabalin is commonly prescribed for nerve pain related to conditions like diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and spinal cord injury, as well as for use alongside other medicines in the management of certain seizure disorders. This 50mg strength is often used as a starting dose, allowing a doctor to assess a patient’s response before considering any adjustment. The pack contains 14 capsules and is meant to be used consistently, exactly as prescribed.

Ingredients

Each Reteric (50mg) capsule contains Pregabalin at a strength of 50mg, 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 with or without food as directed by a doctor.

Uses

Reteric (50mg) is used to manage neuropathic pain caused by conditions such as diabetic nerve damage, postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain following shingles), spinal cord injury, and fibromyalgia. It’s also used as an adjunctive (add-on) treatment for adults with partial-onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization, and for managing generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Pregabalin works by binding to specific calcium channels in the nervous system, which reduces the release of certain neurotransmitters involved in the transmission of pain signals, seizure activity, and anxiety-related nerve excitability.

How to Use

Reteric should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor, generally divided into two or three doses throughout the day, with or without food. The capsule should be swallowed with a glass of water. Dosing is often started low and gradually increased based on individual response and tolerability, and the recommended dose should never be exceeded without medical guidance. This medicine should not be stopped abruptly, since doing so can cause withdrawal-related symptoms; any changes to dosing should be made gradually and under a doctor’s supervision.

Side Effects

Commonly reported side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and dry mouth. Some patients may also experience blurred vision, weight gain, or difficulty concentrating. Less commonly, more serious effects such as swelling of the hands or feet, mood changes, or signs of an allergic reaction — including difficulty breathing or swelling of the face — can occur, and these should be treated as a medical concern requiring prompt attention. Alcohol should be avoided while taking this medicine, as it can increase drowsiness and other central nervous system effects.

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, and avoid storing them 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 shouldn’t I stop taking this medicine suddenly?
Stopping pregabalin abruptly can cause withdrawal-related symptoms, so any changes to your dose or discontinuation should be done gradually under your doctor’s guidance.

Yes, pregabalin is used for both neuropathic pain and generalized anxiety disorder, though the specific dosing may differ depending on the condition being treated.

Is it safe to drink alcohol while taking this medicine?
No, alcohol should be avoided, as it can intensify drowsiness and other central nervous system side effects associated with this medicine.

How long does it take before I notice an improvement in symptoms?
This varies depending on the condition being treated, and your doctor will typically assess your response over several weeks as the dose is adjusted.
