How it works
Actovis G 300mg/500mcg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Gabapentin and Methylcobalamin. Gabapentin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B which helps in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

Frequently asked questions
What is Actovis G 300mg/500mcg Tablet?
Actovis G 300mg/500mcg Tablet is a combination medication that contains Gabapentin and Methylcobalamin. It is used to treat pain caused by nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy). This medication works by regenerating damaged nerves in the body, thereby reducing the sensation of pain.
What is peripheral neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when one or more nerves in the peripheral areas of the body, such as those in the toes and fingertips, become damaged. These nerves transmit messages to and from the brain and spinal cord. When they are damaged, their functioning is disrupted, leading to a disruption in communication between the central and peripheral nervous system.
