PREGABALIN+METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6)+FOLIC ACID
About
PREGABALIN+METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6)+FOLIC ACID is a combination of medicine indicated in 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.
PREGABALIN+METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6)+FOLIC ACID is a combination of five drugs: Pregabalin, Methylcobalamin, Alpha-lipoic acid, Pyridoxine, and Folic acid. Pregabalin affects the chemicals in the brain that send pain signals to the nervous system thereby relieving nerve pain. Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine help in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Alpha-lipoic acid helps in providing a protective effect on the nerve tissues and brain. Folic acid helps in delivering essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, PREGABALIN+METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6)+FOLIC ACID provides relief from neuropathic pain.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. 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 that is not triggered by an injury, the body sends the pain signals. 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).
