Dilna M Tablet 10's

Dilna M Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘anticonvulsants’ used to treat neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic (long-term) progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or the nervous system's malfunctioning. It is mostly seen in patients who had suffered a trauma or nerve injury, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, cancer, multiple sclerosis (disease of the brain and spinal cord), shingles (a viral infection), and HIV.

Dilna M Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Duloxetine and Methylcobalamin. Duloxetine is a selective-serotonin reuptake (SSRI) inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of a chemical messenger (like serotonin and noradrenaline) in the brain required to regulate pain that travels through damaged nerves. On the other hand, Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin (a protective layer of nerve cells).

Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease, infection, or injury caused due to damaged sensory nerves. Pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain. In normal condition, our body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but in neuropathic pain, pain is not triggered by an injury, the body unpromptedly sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain caused by events usually not painful).
