Description

Reteric (75mg) is a higher-strength version of this nerve pain and anxiety medicine containing Pregabalin, manufactured by High-Q Pharma. As with the 50mg strength, it works by calming overactive nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord, helping manage neuropathic pain, seizures, and generalized anxiety disorder. This strength is commonly used once a doctor has assessed a patient’s response to a lower starting dose, or as an initial dose for certain conditions requiring stronger nerve pain control from the outset. Pregabalin is used for a range of conditions, including diabetic nerve pain, postherpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, spinal cord injury 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 (75mg) capsule contains Pregabalin at a strength of 75mg, 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 once or twice daily as directed by a doctor.

Uses

Reteric (75mg) 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, which reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate, norepinephrine, and substance P, calming overactive nerve signaling responsible for pain, seizures, and anxiety.

How to Use

Reteric should be taken with a glass of water, once or twice a day as prescribed by a doctor, with or without food. Dosing is often started at a lower strength and gradually increased based on individual response and tolerability, and this strength may be reached as part of that gradual process or used as an initial dose for certain conditions. The recommended dose should never be exceeded without medical guidance, and 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 has also been reported, believed to be related to increased appetite and fluid retention. Less commonly, visual disturbances such as blurred or double vision can occur, and any changes in vision should be reported to a doctor. In the case of a suspected overdose, symptoms may include severe drowsiness, blurred vision, slurred speech, impaired coordination, nausea, vomiting, and in more serious cases, slowed breathing (respiratory depression), 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 75mg instead of 50mg?
This strength is often used once a doctor has assessed a patient’s response to a lower dose, or as an initial dose for conditions that require stronger nerve pain control from the start.

Does this medicine interact with other medications?
Yes, pregabalin may interact with other central nervous system depressants, such as opioids and benzodiazepines, so it’s important to inform your doctor about your complete medication list before starting treatment.

Is kidney function important to consider with this medicine?
Yes, pregabalin is primarily eliminated through the kidneys, so patients with significant kidney impairment may need a dose adjustment, which should be determined by their doctor.

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