Codeine

Codeine is a prescription opioid medication used to treat mild to moderate pain and cough. It works by acting on the brain and central nervous system to reduce pain perception and suppress the cough reflex.

Often combined with other medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or promethazine, Codeine is found in both tablet and syrup forms. It's commonly prescribed for post-operative pain, injury-related discomfort, and chronic coughs that haven’t responded to other treatments.

In summary, Codeine is an effective medication for short-term pain or cough relief, but it must be used responsibly and legally to avoid health risks.

Pregabalin

Pregabalin is a prescription medication used to treat nerve pain, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It is commonly sold under the brand name Lyrica. Pregabalin works by calming overactive nerve signals in the brain and nervous system. This helps reduce neuropathic pain, control seizures, and relieve chronic conditions involving nerve sensitivity.

It is often prescribed for conditions such as:

1. Diabetic nerve pain

2. Shingles-related nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia)

3. Spinal cord injury pain

4. Partial-onset seizures (as an add-on therapy)

5. Fibromyalgia

6. Generalized anxiety disorder (in some countries)

Pregabalin is usually taken orally in capsule or liquid form, with dosage adjusted based on condition and response.
