Nurestat-Plus Tablet SR is a combination medicine indicated for the management of diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a condition in which nerve damage occurs due to high blood glucose levels. It primarily damages the nerves in the legs and feet. Diabetic neuropathic pain is common in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
 
Nurestat-Plus Tablet SR contains Epalrestat and Methylcobalamin. Epalrestat works by inhibiting the aldose reductase enzyme, which catalyses the conversion of glucose to sorbitol, thereby preventing the accumulation of sorbitol. Accumulation of sorbitol occurs due to hyperglycaemia in patients suffering from diabetes which leads to nerve pain. Methylcobalamin helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Together, Nurestat-Plus Tablet SR helps in treating diabetic neuropathy.
 
You are advised to take Nurestat-Plus Tablet SR for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, and headache. 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.
