About Mego-XL Capsule 15's

Mego-XL Capsule 15's belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies and neuropathic pain. Mego-XL Capsule 15's may be used in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy, drug-induced neuropathy, alcoholic neuropathy, and trigeminal neuralgia. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to damaged sensory nerves. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Mego-XL Capsule 15's is a combination of four drugs: Alpha-lipoic acid (anti-oxidant), folic acid (vitamin), methylcobalamin and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine help 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. Folic acid helps in providing essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, Mego-XL Capsule 15's helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.

Take Mego-XL Capsule 15's as prescribed by the doctor. Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Mego-XL Capsule 15's may cause common side effects like nausea, stomach upset, and vomiting. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Let your doctor know if you are using prescription/non-prescription drugs, and herbal products before starting Mego-XL Capsule 15's. Please inform your doctor if you are known to be allergic to any of the components. Please tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking Mego-XL Capsule 15's.
