The purpose of this study is to propose a new flexible dose regimen starting from 75mg using the low dose pregabalin 25 mg and 50 mg comparing the side effect and compliance with the conventional flexible dose regimen staring from 150mg using the pregabalin 75mg.
Pregabalin has been shown to be effective as a first-line medication for neuropathic pain but it appears to have several side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and edema, which lowers compliance with medications. A way to reduce side effects is the flexible dose regimen, which reaches the target dose to treat the drug. The proposed flexible dose regimen is a regimen that begins with twice the prevalence of 75 mg. However, dizziness is the most common side effect up to 20% in conventional flexible dose regimen. Therefore, the aim of this study was to propose a new flexible regimen starting at a dose less than the existing dose and to compare compliance with pregabaline according to both methods
