PREGABALIN+METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6)+FOLIC ACID
About
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) is used in the management of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. Symptoms of neuropathic pain include shooting and burning pain followed by tingling and numbness (loss of sensation). Neuropathic pain can be caused by amputation of limbs, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to excess blood sugar level), excessive alcohol intake (alcoholism) and cancer treatment via chemotherapy.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) is a combination of five drugs: Pregabalin, Methylcobalamin, Alpha-lipoic acid, Pyridoxine, and Folic acid. Pregabalin affects the chemicals in the brain that send pain signals to the nervous system, thereby relieving nerve pain. Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine help 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 brain. Folic acid helps in delivering essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) provides relief from neuropathic pain.
Take ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) with or without food. Swallow ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) as a whole with a glass of water; do not chew or break it.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, and it could feel like a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of senses is also common with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain that is not triggered by an injury, the body sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, un-triggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).
