Description

Neurokem D 75mg/20mg Capsule

Neurokem D 75mg/20mg Capsule is a combination medicine used in the treatment of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain results from damage or dysfunction of the nerves, causing symptoms such as burning, tingling, or shooting pains. This medication works by modulating the pain signals in the brain and controlling calcium channel activity in nerve cells to reduce pain.

Key Ingredients

• Pregabalin (75 mg)
• Duloxetine (20 mg)

How Neurokem D Capsule Works

• Pregabalin: Pregabalin works by inhibiting the release of certain neurotransmitters involved in the transmission of pain signals, thus reducing the sensation of pain. It helps stabilize the electrical activity in the brain and spinal cord, which is important in managing neuropathic pain.
• Duloxetine: Duloxetine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). It works by increasing the levels of two important neurotransmitters in the brain, serotonin and norepinephrine, which help modulate pain perception and improve mood. This action helps relieve the emotional and physical aspects of pain.

Together, Pregabalin and Duloxetine provide effective pain relief by addressing both the physical and psychological components of neuropathic pain.

Uses of Neurokem D Capsule

• Neuropathic Pain: Primarily used to treat nerve-related pain, such as pain from diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia (nerve pain following shingles), and other types of nerve damage or dysfunction.

Benefits of Neurokem D Capsule

• Pain Relief: Helps manage and reduce neuropathic pain, making daily activities more manageable and improving quality of life.
• Mood Stabilization: Duloxetine not only helps with pain relief but also supports mood stabilization, which is important in chronic pain management.
• Dual Mechanism of Action: The combination of Pregabalin and Duloxetine provides a broader approach to managing pain, targeting both the physical and emotional components of neuropathy.
