About Amnotript-M Tablet

Amnotript-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.

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

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.
