Pregabalin

When ATH: N03AX16

Pharmacological action

Antiepileptics; subunit binds to more (a2-delta protein) voltage-dependent Ca2 -channels in the central nervous system, which contributes to the manifestation of analgesic and anticonvulsant action. Reducing the frequency of seizures started in the first week.

Pharmacokinetics

Всасывание натощак – быстрое, decreases in food intake. Bioavailability - approx. 90%, not dose. TCmax – 1 no (the single and repeated administration). TCSS (with repeated use) – 24-48 no. Food intake reduces Cmax by 25-30%, and increases to TCmax 2.5 no. Объем распределения – 0.56 l / kg. The pharmacokinetics in the range of the recommended daily dose is linear; interindividual variability less 20%; with repeated use pharmacokinetics predictable on the basis of a single dose of. It binds to plasma proteins, hardly metabolized (основной метаболит – N-метилированное производное прегабалина). There was no sign of racemization S-enantiomer of pregabalin the R-enantiomer. The plasma and renal clearance are directly proportional to creatinine clearance. After a 4-hour hemodialysis drug concentration in the plasma is reduced by 50%. The clearance of the drug in patients over 65 declining years, reflecting the age-related decline in creatinine clearance. T1/2 – 6.3 no. Excreted by the kidneys in unchanged form (98%) and an N-methylated derivative of pregabalin (0.9%).

Testimony

Neuropathic pain, epilepsy (in polytherapy), generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity, childhood (to 17 years), lactation; dosage forms, содержащих лактозу – непереносимость галактозы, lactase deficiency Lapa, malabsorption of glucose / galactose.

Dosage regimen

Inside, regardless of the meal, суточная доза – 150-600 mg, razdelennaya of 2-3 admission. Neuropathic pain: начальная доза – 150 mg / day; depending on the achieved effect and tolerability through 3-7 days to increase the dose 300 mg / day, if necessary, even through 7 дней – до максимальной дозы 600 mg / day. In epilepsy: начальная доза – 150 mg / day; depending on the achieved effect and tolerability through 7 days to increase the dose 300 mg / day, through 7 дней – до максимальной дозы 600 mg / day. In renal insufficiency, the daily dose is chosen based on creatinine clearance: creatinine clearance 60 мл/мин и более начальная доза – 150 mg / day, максимальная – 600 mg / day, кратность приема – 2-3 times; creatinine clearance 30-60 ml / min, initial dose - 75 mg / day, максимальная – 300 mg / day, the multiplicity of reception 2-3 times; creatinine clearance 15-30 ml / min, initial dose - 25-50 mg / day, максимальная – 150 mg / day, the multiplicity of reception 1-2 times; creatinine clearance less than 15 ml / min, initial dose - 25 mg / day, the maximum dose - 75 mg / day, кратность приема – 1 time. With hemodialysis, after each 4-hour session, назначают дополнительную начальную дозу – 25 mg / day, максимально – 100 mg / day one. Patients over 65 s may require dose reduction due to the decrease in renal function. Treatment stopped gradually for at least 1 of the week. When fibromyalgia daily dose is 300 to 600 mg.

Cautions

In diabetes (in the case of weight gain on a background of pregabalin) a correction dose hypoglycemic drugs. Treatment may be accompanied by dizziness, sleepiness, that increase the risk of injuries in the elderly. Information about the possible cancellation of others. anticonvulsant drugs and feasibility alone is not enough pregabalin. When pregnancy is used only in the event, if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus. During treatment, women of childbearing age should use reliable methods of contraception. During the period of treatment should refrain from driving vehicles and Occupation potentially hazardous activities, require high concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Drug Interactions

There were no pharmacokinetic interaction with phenytoin, karʙamazepinom, valproic acid, lamotrigine, Gabapentin, lorazepam, oxycodone, ethanol. Oral hypoglycemic drugs, Diuretic, insulin, phenobarbital, tiagaʙin, Topiramate did not affect the clearance of pregabalin. When using oral contraceptives, containing norethisterone and / or ethinyl estradiol, simultaneously with pregabalin pharmacokinetics of both drugs remained unchanged. Reapply with oxycodone, lorazepam, ethanol has no clinically significant effect on respiration. Pregabalin, probably, enhances cognitive disorders and motor functions, caused by oxycodone. Pregabalin may potentiate the effects of ethanol and lorazepam.
