Medicinal Benefits

Prealdonil Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely; Pregabalin (anti-convulsant) and Epalrestat (carboxylic acid derivative). Pregabalin works by calming the damaged or overactive nerves in your body that may cause pain, thereby decreasing the number of pain signals sent out by damaged nerves in the body. Overall it reduces the pain from damaged or irritated nerves due to chronic conditions like, diabetes, trauma or epilepsy. Epalrestat works by inhibiting the aldose reductase enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of glucose to sorbitol and reduces the accumulation of sorbitol in the nerve. In diabetes (hyperglycemia) the accumulation of sorbitol in the nerve occurs and causes various diabetic complications like diabetic peripheral neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy (damage to the blood vessels of the eye due to diabetes), and diabetic nephropathy (diabetic kidney disease). Together, Prealdonil Tablet 10's helps to treat neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage) and diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage) which is a common chronic complication in patients with diabetes.
