Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Alpha Lipoic Acid

Introduction

Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Alpha Lipoic Acid is a combination medicine commonly used to manage nerve pain (neuropathic pain) and nerve-related problems. Gabapentin helps reduce abnormal nerve signals that cause pain, while Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) supports nerve repair and improves nerve function. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect nerves from damage and reduces nerve pain symptoms like burning, tingling, and numbness. This combination is often prescribed for diabetic neuropathy and other nerve disorders for better long-term nerve health and pain relief.
