About Galinrich Capsule 10's

Galinrich Capsule 10's is used for the management of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. Symptoms of neuropathic pain include shooting, and burning pain followed by tingling and numbness (loss of sensation). Neuropathic pain can be caused by amputation of limbs, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to excess blood sugar level), excessive alcohol intake (alcoholism) and cancer treatment via chemotherapy.

Galinrich Capsule 10's is a combination of five drugs: Pregabalin (anticonvulsant), Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), Benfotiamine (vitamin B1), Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and Folic acid (vitamin B9). Pregabalin affects the chemicals in the brain that send pain signals to the nervous system, thereby relieving nerve pain and lowering the risk of seizures (fits). Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine help rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Benfotiamine and Folic acid help deliver essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, Galinrich Capsule 10's provides relief from neuropathic pain.

In some cases, Galinrich Capsule 10's may cause side effects like dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. Most of these side effects of Galinrich Capsule 10's do not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Please do not stop taking Galinrich Capsule 10's without consulting your doctor, as it could cause withdrawal symptoms. Consult your doctor before taking Galinrich Capsule 10's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Galinrich Capsule 10's may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Galinrich Capsule 10's should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Galinrich Capsule 10's as it could lead to increased dizziness and drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects.

The pain could be intermittent or continuous, felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of senses is also common with neuropathic pain.
