About Maxmala Capsule

Maxmala Capsule is a combination medicine used to treat neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease which causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or malfunctioning of the nervous system. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).

Maxmala Capsule is a combination of three drugs: Pregabalin, methylcobalamin and alpha-lipoic acid. Pregabalin works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this helps in relieving nerve pain. Methylcobalamin helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Alpha-lipoic acid helps in providing a protective effect on the nerve tissues and brain. Together, Maxmala Capsule helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.

You are advised to take Maxmala Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. 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.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Maxmala Capsule causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Maxmala Capsule should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Maxmala Capsule as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused due to damage to sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, and it is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the 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 that are usually not painful).
