ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE

About

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE is a combination medication indicated for the management of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. Symptoms of neuropathic pain include shooting, burning pain followed by tingling and numbness (loss of sensation). Neuropathic pain can be caused due to amputation of limbs, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to excess blood sugar level), excessive alcohol intake (alcoholism) and cancer treatment via chemotherapy.

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE contains Pregabalin (anticonvulsant), Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), Alpha-lipoic acid (antioxidant), Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), and Folic acid (vitamin B9). Pregabalin affects the chemicals in the brain that send pain signals to the nervous system, thereby relieving nerve pain and lowering the risk of seizures (fits). Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine hydrochloride help in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Alpha-lipoic acid helps in providing a protective effect on the nerve tissues and the brain. Folic acid helps in delivering essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE provides relief from neuropathic pain.

Use ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE as prescribed by your doctor.

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Neuropathic pain: It is a nervous disorder that occurs due to nerve damage caused by chronic progressive nerve disease, limb amputation, diabetes or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensation is also common with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain that is not triggered by an injury, the body sends the pain signals unpromptedly. Symptoms include spontaneous, un-triggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).
