Cyanocobalamin / Vitamin B12 + Pregabalin is a combination used to manage nerve-related conditions.
Cyanocobalamin or Vitamin B12 is crucial for maintaining proper nerve function and forming the protective sheath around nerves, helps in the creation of neurotransmitters chemicals that transmit signals in the nervous system, and aids the regeneration of damaged nerves.
Pregabalin, on the other hand, is an anticonvulsant. It works by binding to specific sites in the central nervous system, called voltage-gated calcium channels. This reduces the release of certain neurotransmitters like glutamate, noradrenaline, and substance P that send pain signals. Working together, these components help reduce neuropathic pain by promoting nerve health and dampening pain signalling.
