NUHENZ-D TABLET

Nuhenz-D Tablet is a dietary supplement used to help manage diabetic neuropathy, a condition caused by high blood sugar levels that damage nerves. This nerve damage often leads to unusual sensations such as tingling, burning, or pain in the hands and feet. The tablet contains a blend of important nutrients, including alpha-lipoic acid, folic acid, methylcobalamin, pyridoxine, and vitamin D3, all of which work together to support nerve health and reduce discomfort.

Alpha-lipoic acid in Nuhenz-D Tablet acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping protect nerves from damage caused by high blood sugar. Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) support the repair and regeneration of nerve cells, while folic acid promotes healthy blood and nerve function. Vitamin D3 helps strengthen the bones and muscles, which can sometimes weaken due to long-standing diabetes.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and duration of Nuhenz-D Tablet based on your condition and response to treatment. It should be taken at the same time every day for the best results. Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably after a meal to improve absorption and reduce stomach discomfort.

It is important not to stop taking Nuhenz-D Tablet suddenly, even if your symptoms improve, unless advised by your doctor. Stopping early may prevent full recovery and lead to your symptoms returning. You may need to take this supplement for an extended period as nerve repair takes time.

Before starting Nuhenz-D Tablet, inform your doctor about your complete medical history, current medications, and any other supplements you are taking. This will help your doctor prevent unwanted interactions and ensure the supplement is used safely and effectively. Maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and good blood sugar control will further support the benefits of this treatment.
