FAQs
What is Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule, and what is it used for?
Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule is a combination of two medicines: pregabalin and methylcobalamin. It is used for the treatment of nerve pain (neuropathic pain).

How do you manage the weight gain associated with the use of Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule?
Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule can make you feel hungry, which might make you eat more, thereby increasing your chances of putting on weight. However, preventing weight gain is easier than losing the increased weight. Try to eat a healthy balanced diet without increasing your portion sizes (per-meal intake). Do not eat food items that contain a lot of calories, such as soft drinks, oily food, chips, cakes, biscuits, and sweets. If you feel hungry between meals, avoid eating junk food and eat fruits, vegetables, and low-calorie foods. Regular exercise will help prevent weight gain. If you maintain good eating habits and exercise regularly, you might not gain any weight.
Can the use of Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule cause sleepiness or drowsiness?
Yes, Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule may make you feel drowsy, or you may suddenly fall asleep during your daily activities. Sometimes, you might not even feel drowsy or have any other warning signs before you suddenly fall asleep. Avoid driving a car, operating machinery, working at heights, or participating in potentially dangerous activities at the beginning of your treatment until you know how the medicine affects you. Inform your doctor if you experience such episodes while you are taking this medicine.
What if I forget to take Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule?
If you forget to take the scheduled dose of Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule, and it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose at the scheduled time. Otherwise, take it as soon as you remember, and then go back to taking your medicine as you would normally. Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose you missed because this may increase the risk of unwanted side effects. If you are not sure what to do, consult your doctor about how to manage a situation like this.
Will a higher than the recommended dose of Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule be more effective?
No, taking a higher-than-recommended dose may not be more effective; rather, it may increase the chances of having some serious side effects and toxicity. If you experience increased severity of your symptoms that are not relieved by the recommended doses, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Mahagaba-M 75 Capsule?
