I did it for friend who forgot his medication in EU.

But I am sure it's not sold regularly in pharmacies over the counter.

Yes, you can buy it in any pharmacy. But do a cost comparison. I found some of the brands really high.

It is OTC in Thailand. No prescription needed.

 

There are less expensive local brands.

Yes, used it for my shingles pain.

Stopped because it made me dizzy

If it was not prescribed by a Doc, please be careful with dosage and expect adverse reactions are possible.

Thank you Sheryl, thank you Gentlemen.

Horrible stuff.

It is prescribed for my wife by UK GP with specific dosage.

it's available OTC.... similar to Gabapentin or Pobaline, results from Google below

 

 

 

Gabapentin and pregabalin are both medications used for nerve pain and seizures, but they differ in their absorption, onset of action, and some side effect profiles. Pregabalin is absorbed faster and more consistently, leading to quicker pain relief, while gabapentin has a saturable absorption and may be more sedating or cause more side effects in some cases, according to some studies. 

 

 

 

Pobaline and pregabalin are both medications used for nerve pain, but they are different drugs with different uses and mechanisms

. Pregabalin is a newer medication often used for nerve pain (like from shingles or diabetes), fibromyalgia, and seizures. Pobaline is a muscle relaxant typically prescribed for spasticity from conditions like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries. Pregabalin is a specific chemical compound (a gabapentinoid), while pobaline is a brand name for baclofen. 

I use Gabapentin and have zero side effects.

I love pregablin it's a class c controlled drug in the UK as is tramadol and gabapentin. At some point like benzos and oxytocin there will be a load of casualties that think it is 'safe' and non-addictive.
