About METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+VITAMIN B6+FOLIC ACID
METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+VITAMIN B6+FOLIC ACID belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies and neuropathic pain. METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+VITAMIN B6+FOLIC ACID may be used in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy, drug-induced neuropathy, alcoholic neuropathy, and trigeminal neuralgia. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to damaged sensory nerves. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food.
METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+VITAMIN B6+FOLIC ACID is a combination of four drugs: Alpha-lipoic acid (anti-oxidant), folic acid (vitamin), methylcobalamin and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). 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 providing essential nutrients to the nerves. Together, METHYLCOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+VITAMIN B6+FOLIC ACID helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.

It contains Methylcobalamin, Alpha lipoic acid, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) and Folic acid. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. It helps in providing a protective effect on the nerve tissues and brain. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine also help in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Folic acid helps in the formation of red blood cells, provides essential nutrients to nerves, and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer.
