How GABAXIA SR 75MG TABLET Works

GABAXIA SR 75MG TABLET helps in managing nerve health, where pregabalin lowers
the abnormal nerve conduction and pain conduction in the brain and spinal cord,
thereby lowering the sensation of pain. Folic acid and pyridoxine play a vital
role in the growth, differentiation, and regeneration of nerves and the central
nervous system, whereas methylcobalamin helps in the synthesis of a compound
called myelin that covers and protects nerve fibers, thereby reversing nerve
damage and lowering nerve pain.

with a glass of water, with or without food. Do not crush or chew the medicine.
Your doctor will determine the correct dose and duration for you depending upon
