What is Uruka-75 SR?
Uruka-75 SR is a prescription medication containing Pregabalin (75mg) in a sustained-release (SR) formulation. It belongs to the gabapentinoid class of drugs, designed to provide steady relief from nerve-related discomfort by modulating nerve signals in the body.
Uses of Uruka-75 SR
This medication is primarily used for the management of:
- Neuropathic Pain: Including nerve pain associated with diabetes (diabetic neuropathy), shingles (postherpetic neuralgia), or spinal cord injury.
- Fibromyalgia: A condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain.
- Epilepsy: Used as an adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures in adults.
How it Works
The active ingredient, Pregabalin, works by calming overactive nerves in the body that cause pain or seizures. The "SR" or Sustained-Release formulation ensures that the medicine is released slowly into your system, providing prolonged relief.
Dosage and Administration
Uruka-75 SR should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Because it is a sustained-release capsule, it is typically taken once or twice daily. Do not crush, chew, or break the capsule, as this may release all the medication at once and increase the risk of side effects.
Safety and Side Effects
Common side effects may include dizziness, somnolence (sleepiness), dry mouth, or blurred vision. If you experience any severe reactions or have concerns about how this medication affects you, please contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
Can a pregnant woman take Uruka-75 SR?
Pregabalin should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any medication during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
