Benfotiamine + Folic Acid + Methylcobalamin + Pregabalin + Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is a combination medication used for neuropathic pain management.
Benfotiamine and folic acid are essential nutrients that help to maintain the health and function of nerves.
Methylcobalamin and pyridoxine, or Vitamin B6, aid in the production of myelin, a protective sheath covering nerve fibres. They play a role in regenerating damaged nerves.
Pregabalin modulates, or controls, calcium channels on nerve cells, which reduces pain signals by decreasing the release of neurotransmitters that communicate pain.
