Pregabalin 75mg + Mecobalamin 750mcg — Uses and Benefits

This medicine is mainly used to treat nerve-related pain and associated nerve damage.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Pain caused by diabetic nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy)
• Nerve pain following shingles (post-herpetic neuralgia)
• Nerve pain due to spinal injury or compression
• General numbness, tingling, or burning sensation caused by nerve damage
• Sometimes used alongside other treatments for nerve-related discomfort

HOW IT WORKS

• Pregabalin reduces abnormal electrical activity in damaged nerves, easing pain signals sent to the brain
• Mecobalamin is an active form of vitamin B12 that helps repair and maintain the protective covering of nerves
• Together, they help reduce pain while supporting nerve healing over time

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• It is not a painkiller for ordinary headaches, muscle pain, or fever
• It is not used for general vitamin B12 deficiency alone without nerve pain
• It does not treat infections or the underlying cause of nerve damage, such as diabetes itself
• It is not meant for immediate or one-time pain relief; it works gradually with regular use
