Introduction About THYLONERV XT CAPSULE

THYLONERV XT CAPSULE is a combination of Alpha lipoic acid, Methylcobalamin, Folic acid, and Pyridoxine, which belong to the group of medicines called Antioxidants and Vitamin B complexes, respectively. It is used to manage diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage occurring over time because of high sugar and fat levels in the blood due to diabetes).

Symptoms depend on the type of neuropathy, such as pain and numbness in your feet or problems with organ functions like those of your heart and bladder. It can also be used to manage general weakness and convalescence (recovering from an illness or injury).

THYLONERV XT CAPSULE is not recommended for use in children, so consult your doctor before taking it. Before taking THYLONERV XT CAPSULE, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems, cancer, a tumour, pernicious anaemia, are undergoing dialysis, or if you have a coronary stent.

THYLONERV XT CAPSULE should not be used in pregnant women unless necessary. THYLONERV XT CAPSULE is not recommended for use by breastfeeding women. The most common side effects of THYLONERV XT CAPSULE are headache, low blood pressure, shortness of breath, a hot sensation, or sweating. Contact your doctor if any of the symptoms get worse.

Uses Of THYLONERV XT CAPSULE

• Manage diabetic neuropathy
• Manage general weakness
• Manage convalescence

How THYLONERV XT CAPSULE Works

THYLONERV XT CAPSULE helps relieve nerve pain where methylcobalamin takes part in the production of myelin, a compound that covers and protects nerve fibers, thus restoring the damaged nerve cell, and alpha-lipoic acid reduces oxidative stress, which is considered the main pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathy development. Folic acid (Vitamin B9) improves the functional recovery of nerves, the speed of nerve conduction, and cell multiplication, while pyridoxine acts as a coenzyme in a wide range of metabolic functions affecting protein, carbohydrate, and lipid utilization, like the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate and the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Take THYLONERV XT CAPSULE as advised by your physician. Swallow it with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration for you based on your age, body weight, and disease condition.
