About Pregabalin+mecobalamin+alpha Lipoic Acid
Pregabalin+mecobalamin+alpha Lipoic Acid is a combination medicine 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. 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). A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain.
Pregabalin+mecobalamin+alpha Lipoic Acid is a combination of three drugs: Pregabalin (Anti-convulsant), mecobalamin (vitamin) and alpha-lipoic acid (antioxidant). 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. Mecobalamin helps 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. Together, Pregabalin+mecobalamin+alpha Lipoic Acid helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.
