Medicinal Benefits of Alfagaba 100 Tablet

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+GABAPENTIN+METHYLCOBALAMIN is a combination of three drugs: Gabapentin (anti-convulsant), Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), and alpha-lipoic acid (antioxidant). ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+GABAPENTIN+METHYLCOBALAMIN is used to treat neuropathic pain and epilepsy. Gabapentin works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this helps in relieving nerve pain and lowers the risk of seizures. Methylcobalamin helps in 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, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+GABAPENTIN+METHYLCOBALAMIN helps in providing relief from neuropathic pain.
