ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE
About ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE is used for 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 HYDROCHLORIDE contains Pregabalin (anticonvulsant), Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), Alpha-lipoic acid (antioxidant), Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), and Folic acid (vitamin B9). Pregabalin affects the chemicals in the brain that send pain signals to the nervous system, thereby relieving nerve pain and lowering the risk of seizures (fits). Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine hydrochloride help rejuvenate and protect 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 delivering essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE provides relief from neuropathic pain.
Use ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, nausea, and vomiting. 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.
Please do not stop taking ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE without consulting your doctor, as it could cause withdrawal symptoms. Consult your doctor before starting ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Avoid consuming alcohol along with ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PREGABALIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Neuropathic pain: It is a nervous disorder that occurs due to nerve damage caused by chronic progressive nerve disease, limb amputation, diabetes or due to infection or injury. 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 sensation 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 unpromptedly. 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).
