ALDONIL PLUS TAB

Description

Aldonil Plus Tablet SR is prescribed for the management of diabetic neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes characterized by nerve damage due to prolonged high blood sugar levels. This condition often leads to symptoms such as burning, tingling, or stabbing pain in the extremities.

Composition:

• Epalrestat (150 mg)

• Methylcobalamin (1500 mcg)

Mechanism of Action:

• Epalrestat inhibits the enzyme aldose reductase, reducing the conversion of glucose to sorbitol. This prevents sorbitol accumulation in nerve cells, which is associated with nerve damage in diabetic neuropathy.

• Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that aids in the synthesis of myelin, a protective sheath around nerve fibers, thereby promoting nerve regeneration and function.

Usage:
Aldonil Plus Tablet SR is typically taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day, with or without food. The exact dosage and duration should be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual patient needs.

Side Effects:
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and increased liver enzymes. These are usually temporary and subside as the body adjusts to the medication. Consult a doctor if side effects persist or worsen.

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, as dosage adjustments may be necessary.

• Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be approached with caution; consult a doctor before use.

• Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medication, as it may increase the risk of side effects.

• Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended during treatment.
