- Description
- Pregabalin is a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogue that binds to the a2-d subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. It is approved for treating neuropathic pain and partial epilepsy. Pregabalin was listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme in March 2013 as Australia’s first drug to be subsidised specifically for neuropathic pain.
