Pregabalin 150mg + Mecobalamin 1500mcg — Uses and Benefits

This combination is prescribed for nerve-related pain and nerve damage, most commonly seen in diabetic patients, people with nerve injuries, or those with vitamin B12-related nerve problems.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Nerve pain due to diabetes (diabetic peripheral neuropathy)
• Nerve pain following shingles or nerve injury
• Numbness, tingling and burning sensation caused by nerve damage
• Supporting nerve recovery when vitamin B12 deficiency is also present

HOW IT WORKS

• Pregabalin reduces abnormal electrical activity in damaged nerves, lowering pain signals sent to the brain
• Mecobalamin is an active form of vitamin B12 that helps in nerve cell repair and maintaining the protective covering of nerves
• Together they help relieve pain while supporting long-term nerve health

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Ordinary headache or muscle pain
• Pain from injury or surgery without nerve involvement
• General vitamin B12 deficiency without nerve pain, unless advised by a doctor
• Anxiety or seizures, even though pregabalin alone is sometimes used for these
