Gabapin Plus 100 Tablet has three active ingredients each working in its unique way:

Alpha Lipoic Acid (100 mg): This powerful antioxidant neutralises harmful substances called free radicals in your body. It helps regenerate other antioxidants and enhances the uptake of glucose in insulin-sensitive tissues. Additionally, it improves nerve conduction speed and promotes nerve regeneration.
Gabapentin (100 mg): This component binds to specific spots on nerve cells which in turn reduces their activity level. By doing so, it decreases the release of chemicals involved in pain signalling thus providing relief from various types of neuropathic pain.
Methylcobalamin (500 mcg): An active form of vitamin B12, it supports the formation and regeneration of myelin sheaths around nerve fibres aiding proper nerve conduction. It also helps in synthesising neurotransmitters and promoting the regeneration of damaged nerve cells.
