About Amicobal Tablet

Amicobal Tablet is used to manage neuropathic pain due to damaged nerves. Neuropathic pain is pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, like a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation.

Amicobal Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Amitriptyline and Methylcobalamin. Amitriptyline belongs to a class of medications known as tricyclic antidepressants, and it works by boosting serotonin levels in the brain. This can make you feel better. This can also alter how your nerves receive pain signals, causing pain to subside. Methylcobalamin is a vitamin B derivative that promotes the synthesis of myelin, which protects nerve fibres and rejuvenates injured nerve cells. They work together to alleviate neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

Take Amicobal Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Amicobal Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as constipation, dizziness, dry mouth, feeling sleepy, difficulty peeing, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Please do not take Amicobal Tablet if you have had an allergic reaction to Amicobal Tablet or any ingredients in it. Tell your doctor if you're pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding. Amicobal Tablet is generally not recommended in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your doctor will only prescribe Amicobal Tablet for your pain while you're pregnant or breastfeeding if the benefits of taking medicine outweigh the risks. Amicobal Tablet may cause side effects like Light-headedness or dizziness, which may affect your concentration ability. Hence, it is recommended not to drive or operate machinery until you are mentally alert. Seek medical attention if the symptoms persist longer. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Amicobal Tablet as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Nutritional deficits can cause neuropathy symptoms. Choose foods high in nutrients, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

  • Replace fatty protein sources with lean alternatives and consume modest quantities of healthy fat sources for improved well-being. Saturated fat in fatty meats and dairy products has been linked to inflammation and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

  • Elevated blood sugar levels are linked to various chronic health problems, including diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Increase Omega–3 fatty acids, Fiber, and Antioxidants such as flaxseeds, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and beans to help you maintain a healthy blood sugar level and control your diabetes.

  • Create a diet that includes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, omega-3-rich foods, and lean protein sources.

  • Instead of saturated and trans fats, choose monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (fish, nuts, and vegetable oils).

  • Select/prepare foods and beverages with fewer added sugars/caloric sweeteners.

  • Be mindful of salt; consume no more than 2,300 mg each day.

  • Limit or avoid alcohol consumption.

Special Advise

To avoid many illnesses, including peripheral neuropathy, a good diet is typically the first line of defence. The best way to avoid peripheral neuropathy is to monitor any medical condition that puts you at risk closely. Controlling your blood sugar levels if you have diabetes or speaking with your doctor about safe and effective therapies if you suspect you have an alcohol problem. Eat a nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein whether you have a medical problem or not.
