Brief Answer:
Yes, could be due to side effects of medication.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Meganeuron PG contains pregabalin capsules along with vitamin supplements. Pregabalin can cause side effects such as dizziness, giddiness, tiredness, lethargy, sleepiness, especially in the first few days after starting the medication, and in older people.
Pregabalin, however, does not cause mild stroke.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,

Thank you doctor..now she has taken ecosprin after having food. All the symptoms that you have told exists and now she is on bed. Whether she will become automatically normal after few hours of sleep or do we need to give any counter medicine or shall I take her to hospital?
Brief Answer:
She should become normal in a few hours.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
If her symptoms are due to side effect of medicine (Meganeuron PG), she should become normal within a few hours of rest. However, if her symptoms persist beyond 4-5 hours, then, it would be better to get her checked up.
Ecosprin is safe and prevents recurrent stroke.
