Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin
About
Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin is a combination of medications indicated 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 due to amputation of limbs, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to excess blood sugar level), excessive alcohol intake (alcoholism) and cancer treatment via chemotherapy.
Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin is a combination of five drugs: Pregabalin (anticonvulsant), Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), Benfotiamine (vitamin B1), Pyridoxine (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 help in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Benfotiamine and Folic acid help in delivering essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin provides relief from neuropathic pain.
In some cases, Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin may cause side effects like dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. Most of these side effects of Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin do not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor before taking Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Benfotiamine+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+pregabalin as it could lead to increased dizziness and drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects.

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, felt as 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 is not triggered by an injury. 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).
