Hi, thank you for posting.
Preagastar is a potent medicine for neuralgic pain.
The use of this medicine for a long period of time has these side effects:
drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, edema, blurred vision, weight gain and difficulty in concentrating.
If the patient suffer from hypothyroidism(low pressure of thyroid), then pregastar will favor weight gain. So if the patient suffer from hypothyroidism, he/she shouldn't use pregastar.
Take Care.
