Verified Ingredients and Effects

Uses:

Neuropathic pain

Medicinal Benefits:

Dalpro 1500mcg/75mg Capsule SR is a combination of two drugs: Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin. Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant that affects the brain's chemicals that send pain signals across the nervous system. It works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels (responsible for excitatory response), thereby decreasing brain activity. This effect helps in relieving nerve pain and lowers the risk of seizures. On the other hand, Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin (outer protective layer of nerve cells). Together, Dalpro 1500mcg/75mg Capsule SR helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain and improved nerve signal conduction.
