What Experts Say

At 100mg, Reteric Capsule delivers a higher dose of Pregabalin, which binds more extensively to calcium channels in nerve cells to blunt severe or persistent pain signals. This strength is generally reserved for patients who have already tolerated lower doses.

Pakistani neurologists and pain specialists in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi prescribe this strength for advanced diabetic neuropathy or fibromyalgia that has not responded adequately to 50mg or 75mg doses. Response is usually reviewed within a few weeks of starting, with dose changes made gradually based on symptom control.

Higher doses raise the risk of sedation, poor coordination and dependency, so this strength should never be self adjusted or shared with others. Sudden discontinuation can cause withdrawal seizures, so doctors taper the dose gradually when stopping treatment, usually over at least one week.
