It is also used to treat nerve and muscle pain where it blocks pain by interfering with pain signals traveling through the damaged nerves and the brain.

Frequently asked questions
What is Neupreg 75mg Capsule and what is it used for?
Neupreg 75mg Capsule belongs to the anticonvulsants class of medicines. It is primarily used to treat seizures, but it also provides relief from nerve pain (neuropathic pain) caused by conditions such as diabetes, shingles, or injury. Additionally, Neupreg 75mg Capsule may be prescribed for fibromyalgia and anxiety.
Neupreg 75mg Capsule has varied roles. Does it work in the same way for each disease?
No, Neupreg 75mg Capsule works differently depending on the condition being treated. For epilepsy, it reduces abnormal electrical activity in the brain to stop seizures. In chronic pain, it blocks pain messages traveling from the brain to the spine.
I have been prescribed Neupreg 75mg Capsule for pain due to shingles. When can I expect relief from pain?
Some people experience relief from pain within a week of starting Neupreg 75mg Capsule, while others may take a few weeks to see the full benefits.
How long do I need to take Neupreg 75mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Neupreg 75mg Capsule depends on the condition being treated. If it's for epilepsy, you may need to continue taking it for years if it effectively manages your seizures. For neuropathic or fibromyalgia pain, you might take it for several months to ensure symptoms don't return.
Is it necessary to continue taking Neupreg 75mg Capsule even if I feel fine?
