Aldonil OD 150 Tablet is used to relieve the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage in the hands and feet caused by long-term high blood sugar. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing epalrestat 150mg in a once-daily sustained-release form, and belongs to a class of medicines called aldose reductase inhibitors.
This medicine blocks an enzyme that leads to the build-up of sugar-related substances in nerve cells, which may help ease numbness, tingling, burning and pain. It works alongside good blood sugar control, which is the most important way to protect the nerves. Take it once a day, before a meal, swallowed whole, as prescribed by your doctor; benefits may take several weeks.
Keeping blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol well controlled, not smoking, limiting alcohol and checking your feet daily for cuts or sores help protect the nerves. Wear well-fitting footwear.
Your urine may turn yellow-brown or reddish while taking this medicine, which is harmless. Your doctor may check your liver function during treatment. Before starting, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, and about other medicines you take. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine not explained by the medicine, or unusual tiredness. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
