How it works
Neurowell PG Capsule is a combination of Alpha Lipoic Acid, Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin, Pregabalin and Pyridoxine. Alpha-lipoic acid works by slowing down nerve damage and reducing symptoms like pricking pain and tingling sensation in the feet and legs. Folic acid and Pyridoxine are essential for the production of certain vital components that are necessary to maintain normal body functions. Methylcobalamin helps in the production of myelin (a substance that protects the nerve fibres) and healing the damaged nerve cells. Pregabalin acts by blocking the activity of certain chemical substances in the brain and interfering with the pain signals from the damaged nerves. Thus, it relieves pain caused by nerve damage.
