About Amidox-M Tablet

Amidox-M 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.

Amidox-M 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 Amidox-M Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Amidox-M 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.
