Pregabalin is available as a generic medication in a number of countries, including the United States as of July 2019. [23] [33] [138] In the United States as of July 2019 the wholesale/pharmacy cost for generic pregabalin is US$0.17–0.22 per 150 mg capsule. [140]
[24] [25] Conversely, the oral bioavailability of pregabalin is greater than or equal to 90% across and beyond its entire clinical dose range (75 to 900 mg/day). [24] Food does not significantly influence the oral bioavailability of pregabalin. [24] Conversely, food increases the area-under-curve levels of gabapentin by about 10%. [24]
An individual's body temperature typically changes by about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) between its highest and lowest points each day. [15] Body temperature is sensitive to many hormones, so women have a temperature rhythm that varies with the menstrual cycle, called a circamensal rhythm. [11] [unreliable medical source?
Skin temperature is the temperature of the outermost surface of the body. Normal human skin temperature on the trunk of the body varies between 33.5 and 36.9 °C (92.3 and 98.4 °F), though the skin's temperature is lower over protruding parts, like the nose, and higher over muscles and active organs.

An equianalgesic chart is a conversion chart that lists equivalent doses of analgesics (drugs used to relieve pain). Equianalgesic charts are used for calculation of an equivalent dose (a dose which would offer an equal amount of analgesia) between different analgesics. [1]
Thermal amplitude or thermal range refers to the temperature range in which a cold autoantibody or cold-reacting alloantibody binds to its antigen. [1] [2] Cold antibodies that can bind to antigen above 30 °C (86 °F) are considered potentially clinically significant and may lead to disease that occurs or worsens on exposure to low temperatures.
The saline cools the person's whole body by lowering the temperature of a person's blood. Catheters reduce temperature at rates ranging from 1.5 to 2 °C (2.7 to 3.6 °F) per hour. Through the use of the control unit, catheters can bring body temperature to within 0.1 °C (0.18 °F) of the target level.
In single-dose scenarios, the patient's body weight and the drug's recommended dose per kilogram are used to determine a safe one-time dose. If multiple doses of treatment are needed in a day, the physician must take into account information regarding the total amount of the drug which is safe to use in one day, and how that should be broken up ...
