Reaxon Plus Tablet is a nutritional supplement that nourishes the body with essential vitamins and minerals. It contains Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), Folic acid, Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), Alpha-lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, Betacarotene, Calcium pantothenate, Chromium, Inositol, and Zinc. It is indicated to treat nerve pain and damage in peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels), and alcoholic neuropathy. It relieves symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning, and needle-like sensations in the hands and feet.

• Pyridoxine is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It also helps in cognitive development through the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and maintains normal homocysteine levels (an amino acid in the blood).
• Methylcobalamin treats hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood) and 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 diabetic neuropathy.
• Benfotiamine, a synthetic form of Vitamin B1 or Thiamine, helps deliver essential nutrients to the nerves and treats numbness, tingling, burning, and needle-like sensations in the hands and feet.
• Betacarotene is an antioxidant that protects the cells from damage.
• Calcium pantothenate is an essential body mineral that maintains overall bone health.
• Inositol improves blood circulation to the legs, toes, and fingers, thereby relieving pain.
• Chromium helps control blood sugar levels in diabetes and thus prevents nerve damage due to increased blood sugar.
• Folic acid helps in repairing nerve injury and also improves diabetic neuropathy symptoms. 
• Zinc boosts immunity and promotes the growth and development of body tissues.
