How it works
Nervlex Capsule is a combination of five medicines: Benfotiamine, Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin, Pregabalin, and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine). Benfotiamine and Folic Acid provide essential nutrients to the nerves. Methylcobalamin and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) are forms of vitamin B which help in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Pregabalin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
Quick Tips
Do not drive or use tools or machines. Inform your doctor if you are taking any other pain-relieving medicines. Along with taking Nervlex Capsule, your doctor might advise you to undergo physiotherapy to get relief from pain. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

If you experience hunger between meals, opt for fruits, vegetables, and low-calorie snacks. Regular exercise can also help prevent weight gain.
