Felicita OD Capsule is a nutritional supplement that treats nutritional deficiencies caused due to poor nutrition or certain illnesses. It is composed of Benfotiamine, Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), Alpha Lipoic Acid, Chromium, and Inositol. It is indicated to treat nerve pain and nerve damage in peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels), and alcoholic neuropathy. It relieves symptoms like numbness, tingling sensation, burning sensation, and prickling sensations in the hands and feet.

• Methylcobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. 
• Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and also decreases pain and numbness in neuropathy.
