Description:

Pregabalin & Mecobalamin Capsules is a combination medication used primarily for the treatment of neuropathic pain (nerve pain) associated with diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, spinal cord injury, and other peripheral neuropathies. Pregabalin reduces abnormal nerve signals by binding to calcium channels in the central nervous system, while Mecobalamin (an active form of Vitamin B12) supports nerve repair, myelin sheath regeneration, and improves nerve conduction. This combination provides both symptomatic pain relief and neurotrophic support for damaged nerves.
