Epalridase Tablet 10 contains epalrestat (50 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Aldose Reductase Inhibition: Epalrestat blocks an enzyme called aldose reductase, which normally converts glucose into sorbitol in the body.

• Sorbitol Reduction: By inhibiting aldose reductase, this medicine prevents excessive accumulation of sorbitol in nerves and tissues, which would otherwise contribute to nerve damage.

• Nerve Protection: Through blocking the glucose-to-sorbitol conversion pathway, epalrestat helps protect nerves from damage caused by high blood sugar levels.

• Symptom Management: This medicine's action helps reduce the progression of nerve damage, thereby managing the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.
