Alrista Forte Tablet 10's

Alrista Forte Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘antidiabetics’ used in treating diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage in diabetic patients. It is a complication seen in diabetic patients (especially those with untreated or uncontrolled diabetes). It mostly affects the legs and feet.

Alrista Forte Tablet contains Epalrestat, Methylcobalamin, and Pregabalin. Epalrestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor. The inhibition of aldose reductase (an enzyme) can reduce levels of sorbitol, which causes nerve damage. It doesn’t show any effect on glucose levels. Methylcobalamin is vitamin B12 that helps rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin (the protective layer of nerve cells). Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant that affects the chemicals in the brain that send pain signals across the nervous system.
