About Alsody Capsule

Alsody Capsule belongs to the class of antioxidants used to manage chronic low back pain, neuropathic pain (diabetic neuropathy) and inflammatory pain. Neuropathic pain is caused by damage or injury to the somatosensory nervous system. Inflammatory pain is described as increased sensitivity caused by an inflammatory reaction associated with tissue damage.

Alsody Capsule contains alpha-lipoic acid and superoxide dismutase. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. It also decreases pain and numbness in neuropathy. Superoxide dismutase prevents tissue damage and inflammation by breaking down harmful oxygen molecules and affecting immune response.

Alsody Capsule can be taken with or without food. Alsody Capsule should be swallowed whole with a glass of water; do not chew or break it. In some circumstances, you may encounter common side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, headache, and upset stomach. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and will subside gradually over time. However, if you are experiencing these side effects regularly, you should consult your doctor.

Please do not take Alsody Capsule if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Alsody Capsule may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Alsody Capsule should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Alsody 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.
