PREGALIN S/R AND METHYCOBALAMINE TAB
PREGALIN S/R AND METHYCOBALAMINE TAB: Pregalin S/R and Methylcobalamin Tab is a combination medication that contains the active ingredients Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin.
This medication is primarily used to treat neuropathic pain, which is caused by damaged nerves. It can be prescribed for conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and fibromyalgia.
Pregabalin, the main component of Pregalin S/R, works by binding to calcium channels in the central nervous system. This action reduces the release of certain neurotransmitters involved in pain signaling, thereby decreasing pain sensation.
Methylcobalamin is a form of Vitamin B12, which is important for the proper functioning of nerve cells. It helps to repair damaged nerves and promotes the conduction of nerve impulses.
