PBM-15 Capsules

PBM 15 CAPSULE is a combination of Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin which belongs to the group of medicines called Anticonvulsants and Vitamin-B complex respectively. PBM 15 CAPSULE is indicated for the treatment of neuropathic pain in adults. Neuropathic pain is a chronic painful condition caused by damage or disease affecting the somatosensory (sense of touch) nervous system (such as lesion or disease of spinal cord and/or brain).

It can also be caused by prolonged diabetes mellitus, infectious diseases (such as HIV infection or leprosy), chemotherapy, auto-immune disease (Ex. Guillain-Barre syndrome) or by other metabolic dysfunctions. Symptoms include shooting, burning or stabbing pain, tingling and numbness, spontaneous pain (pain without stimulus) or pain caused by normal daily activities that are typically not painful (such as brushing your hair, being in cold temperatures or rubbing against something).

Do not stop taking PBM 15 CAPSULE without consulting your doctor as it could precipitate withdrawal symptoms such as headache, insomnia (lack of sleep), nausea, pain, diarrhea, flu syndrome, anxiety, nervousness, depression, convulsion, excessive sweating, dizziness and physical dependence.

PBM 15 CAPSULE has high potential to cause addiction and therefore caution should be exercised among patients who already has a history of substance abuse. PBM 15 CAPSULE can cause suicidal ideation in some individuals and therefore appropriate treatment should be considered as soon as the signs emerge.

PBM 15 CAPSULE is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women unless advised by the doctor and in male patients who plan to father a child. Consult your doctor before taking PBM 15 CAPSULE.

The most common side effects of taking PBM 15 CAPSULE are dizziness, sleepiness, headache, dry mouth, mood changes, fluid retention and weight gain. Consult your doctor if any of the side effects worsen.
