About

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN is a combination medicine used to treat neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease which causes nerve pain due to damage of sensory nerves.

Mecobalamin helps 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 the brain. Folic acid helps in providing essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused due to damage to sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain is not triggered by an injury; the body unpromptedly sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).
