How Pregaba D 50/20 Cap Works
Pregabalin is a gabapentinoid that works by binding to the alpha2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system, reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate and norepinephrine. Duloxetine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) that increases the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, which are involved in regulating mood, sleep, and pain.
