Rizeno Pg Tablet belongs to a group of medications known as 'anticonvulsants' used to manage neuropathic pain due to damaged nerves. 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, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation.
Rizeno Pg Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Methylcobalamin/Mecobalamin (vitamin B12) and Pregabalin (anti-convulsant). Mecobalamin protects nerve fibres and rejuvenates nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Pregabalin works by changing how nerves send messages to the brain. Together, Rizeno Pg Tablet helps to treat neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage).
