Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

• Pregabalin works by reducing the release of a chemical (neurotransmitter) in the brain responsible for the sensation of pain.
• Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) helps in the formation of nerve cells and regeneration of damaged nerves.
• Vitamin B9, also known as Folic Acid, is one of the important vitamins which play a significant role in DNA and the synthesis of amino acids. It is crucial for cell division and the development of blood cells.
• Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine is a crucial component for various reactions and acts as a coenzyme in the body. Adequate supply is a must for proper nerve function and bone formation & regeneration.
• Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, which on absorption gets converted to thiamine. It helps the body to break down sugars in the diet, thus improving the functions of the heart and nerve cells.
