Introduction:

STERICOX PREGA is a combination medication containing Pregabalin SR (Sustained Release) and Etoricoxib, designed to treat chronic pain conditions, including neuropathic pain and inflammatory disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This combination helps manage pain through a dual mechanism of action: Pregabalin works on the nervous system, while Etoricoxib targets inflammation at the site of pain. The sustained-release formulation of Pregabalin provides long-lasting pain relief, and Etoricoxib provides rapid anti-inflammatory effects, making it a highly effective treatment for individuals suffering from chronic pain.

Key Features and Ingredients:

Pregabalin SR (Sustained Release):

• Class: Anticonvulsant and analgesic.
• Mechanism of Action: Pregabalin binds to calcium channels in the central nervous system (CNS), modulating neurotransmitter release and reducing the abnormal nerve activity that causes neuropathic pain.
• Benefits:
  • Provides long-lasting pain relief by reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain and nerves.
  • Sustained release formulation ensures consistent drug levels over time, minimizing the need for frequent dosing.
  • Effective for neuropathic pain caused by diabetes, shingles, or spinal cord injury.
  • Also used to treat fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by widespread muscle pain and fatigue.

Etoricoxib:

• Class: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), selective COX-2 inhibitor.
• Mechanism of Action: Etoricoxib selectively inhibits the COX-2 enzyme, which is involved in the production of prostaglandins (compounds that promote inflammation, pain, and fever). By inhibiting COX-2, it reduces pain and inflammation while causing less irritation to the stomach lining compared to traditional NSAIDs.
• Benefits:
  • Reduces inflammation and pain associated with arthritis, acute gout, and other inflammatory conditions.
  • Faster onset of action, providing quick relief from swelling and discomfort.
  • Can be used for conditions that require long-term pain management, such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.

Usage:

STERICOX PREGA is used for:

1. Neuropathic Pain: Pregabalin reduces the burning, shooting, or sharp pain often felt with nerve damage. It is particularly useful in treating conditions like diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and spinal cord injury-related pain.
2. Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Etoricoxib reduces the pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints affected by arthritis, allowing for improved mobility.
3. Fibromyalgia: Pregabalin helps manage muscle pain and fatigue often associated with fibromyalgia.
4. Postoperative Pain: After surgery, STERICOX PREGA helps alleviate both nerve pain and inflammation, allowing for quicker recovery and less discomfort.
5. Acute Gout Flare-Ups: Etoricoxib is highly effective in treating pain and inflammation during gout attacks, particularly in reducing the swelling and discomfort around the joints.

Benefits:

• Dual Action Formula: Combines Pregabalin SR, which targets nerve pain, with Etoricoxib, which provides anti-inflammatory benefits, offering comprehensive pain relief.
• Long-Lasting Relief: Pregabalin SR ensures a slow release of medication, offering consistent pain management throughout the day with fewer doses.
• Effective for Chronic Conditions: Particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from long-term, persistent pain, including conditions like neuropathy, arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
• Improves Functionality: By managing pain and inflammation, STERICOX PREGA allows individuals to maintain better mobility and improved quality of life.
• Reduced Need for Frequent Dosing: With the sustained-release formulation of Pregabalin, patients require fewer doses throughout the day, improving compliance with the treatment regimen.
