Etowin PG Tablet 10's
About Etowin PG Tablet 10's
Etowin PG Tablet 10's is a combination medicine used to treat neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury or diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Also, it is used to treat fibromyalgia (widespread muscle pain and tenderness) and post-herpetic neuralgia (lasting pain in the areas of skin where you has shingles). Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or malfunctioning of the nervous system. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensation is also common with neuropathic pain.
Etowin PG Tablet 10's is a combination of Etoricoxib (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and Pregabalin (anticonvulsant). Etoricoxib works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation, such as redness and swelling. Pregabalin affects the chemicals in the brain that send pain signals across the nervous system. It works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this helps in relieving nerve pain. Together, Etowin PG Tablet 10's helps in providing relief from pain.
Take Etowin PG Tablet 10's as prescribed. You are advised to take Etowin PG Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
If you are allergic to Etoricoxib, Pregabalin or any of its contents, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking Etowin PG Tablet 10's.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused by damaged sensory nerves. It is caused by persistent, progressive nerve illness, infection, or damage. The pain may be intermittent or constant, and it may feel like prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning. Neuropathic pain is also characterized by numbness and loss of sensation. Normally, the body sends pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain is not triggered by an injury; instead, the body transmits pain signals unpromptedly. Symptoms include unprovoked pain, unpleasant feelings, shooting, searing, or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain generated by events that are normally not uncomfortable).
