Nervigesic 450Mg (Pregabalin Capsules IP)

Nervigesic 450Mg (Pregabalin Capsules IP) is a higher-strength medication containing Pregabalin, which is used primarily for the treatment of various neurological conditions. Pregabalin works by affecting the central nervous system, helping to control symptoms of pain, anxiety, and seizures.
