Cholecalciferol+methylcobalamin+pregabalin
About
Cholecalciferol+methylcobalamin+pregabalin belongs to a group of medicines called anticonvulsants. Cholecalciferol+methylcobalamin+pregabalin is primarily used to treat neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or malfunctioning of the nervous system.
Cholecalciferol+methylcobalamin+pregabalin is a combination of three drugs: Cholecalciferol (vitamin D), methylcobalamin (vitamin), and pregabalin (anti-convulsant). Pregabalin affects the chemicals in the brain that send pain signals across the nervous system. It works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels, this helps in relieving nerve pain and lowers the risk of seizures. Methylcobalamin helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Cholecalciferol is a form of vitamin D3 and helps in the formation of new nerves and providing a protective effect on the nerve cells throughout the body. Together, Cholecalciferol+methylcobalamin+pregabalin helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused due to damage to sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations 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, the body unprompted sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).
