Benfonerve Capsule belongs to the class of 'vitamins', primarily used to treat neuropathic pain associated with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet) and diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to diabetes). It is a nervous system disorder caused due to damaged sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation.

Benfonerve Capsule contains Alpha lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, Folic acid, Inositol, Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents oxidative stress, thereby helping to provide a protective effect on the nerve tissues and the brain. Folic acid and Benfotiamine help in providing essential nutrients to the nerves. Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine help rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Inositol works by dilating the blood vessels and improving blood circulation. Together, Benfonerve Capsule helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.
