About Nucoxia PG 60 mg/75 mg Tablet

Nucoxia PG 60 mg/75 mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury or diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Also, it is used to treat fibromyalgia (widespread muscle pain and tenderness) and post-herpetic neuralgia (lasting pain in the areas of skin where you has shingles).

Disease/Condition Glossary

Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused by damaged sensory nerves. It is caused by persistent, progressive nerve illness, infection, or damage. The pain may be intermittent or constant, and it may feel like prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning. Neuropathic pain is also characterized by numbness and loss of sensation. Normally, the body sends pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain is not triggered by an injury; instead, the body transmits pain signals unpromptedly. Symptoms include unprovoked pain, unpleasant feelings, shooting, searing, or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain generated by events that are normally not uncomfortable).
