EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 is used to help relieve the nerve pain, tingling and numbness associated with diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage caused by high blood sugar) in adults with diabetes.

It contains epalrestat, an aldose reductase inhibitor. Take it as prescribed.

Keeping blood sugar well controlled with diet, activity and prescribed medicines, and attending regular nerve and eye monitoring appointments, support recovery alongside this medicine.

Tell your doctor about any liver problems before starting, and about other medicines you take. Regular liver function tests are recommended. Report worsening symptoms, unusual skin reactions or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 is used to help relieve the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy in adults, including nerve pain, tingling and numbness caused by high blood sugar.

Uses of EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 are:

• Diabetic Neuropathy: Helps relieve nerve pain, tingling and numbness in diabetic neuropathy.

• Nerve Protection: Helps protect nerves from further damage caused by high blood sugar.

• Symptom Relief: Used as part of long-term management of diabetic nerve complications.

Take EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 may cause some side effects that are usually mild and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine.

A few common side effects of EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 are:

• Digestive: Feeling sick (nausea), stomach discomfort, loss of appetite and loose motions (diarrhoea). Taking small sips of water and eating plain, simple food can help ease nausea.

• Neurological: Headache and dizziness. Rising slowly from sitting or lying down can help reduce dizziness.

• Skin: Rash and itching. A cool compress on the area can help soothe itching.

• Liver: Raised liver enzymes (seen on blood tests).

If side effects do not improve or become serious, speak to your doctor right away.

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are mild and may improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, always inform your doctor if any symptom feels worrying.

Stomach discomfort or nausea: Taking the medicine after food may help reduce irritation.
Diarrhoea: Drink enough fluids to prevent dehydration.
Headache or dizziness: Rest well and avoid sudden movements.

EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 contains:

Epalrestat (150 mg): It is an aldose reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking the action of an enzyme that contributes to nerve damage in people with diabetes. This helps protect nerves and improve symptoms of diabetic neuropathy over time.

Pregnancy

EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 should be used during pregnancy only if your doctor considers it clearly necessary. Always discuss the potential risks and benefits before starting treatment.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using EPO 150 MG TABLET 10. Your doctor will decide whether it is safe to continue based on your condition.

Alcohol

Avoid or limit alcohol intake while taking EPO 150 MG TABLET 10. Alcohol can worsen nerve damage in diabetes and may reduce the overall benefit of treatment.

Liver

This medicine can affect liver function in some people. Inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease. Your doctor may recommend periodic liver function tests during treatment.

Kidney

Consult your doctor if you have severe kidney disease, as dose adjustment or closer monitoring may be required.

Use In Driving And Operating Machinery

EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 may cause dizziness in some individuals. If you feel dizzy, avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing activities that require full concentration.

Allergy

Do not take EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 if you are allergic to epalrestat or any of the ingredients in this medicine. Seek immediate medical help if you develop rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty.

Children

EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 is not usually recommended for use in children under 18 years of age.

Older Patients

Older adults can usually take this medicine safely. However, regular medical follow-up is important to monitor how well the medicine is working and to check for any side effects.

Drug-Drug Interactions

EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 may interact with the following medicines:

Other antidiabetic medicines (such as insulin or oral diabetes medicines): Taking these together may affect blood sugar control. In some people, blood sugar control may improve, so glucose levels should be monitored to avoid unexpected fluctuations.
Medicines that affect the liver: This medicine is processed by the liver. Taking it along with other medicines that also affect the liver may increase the risk of liver-related side effects. Inform your doctor about all medicines you are using so appropriate monitoring can be planned.
Herbal supplements used for diabetes (such as bitter gourd, fenugreek, or gymnema): These can influence blood sugar levels. When used along with this medicine, they may lead to unpredictable glucose changes. It is best to tell your doctor about any herbal or natural supplements you are taking.

Drug-Disease Interactions

EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 should be used with caution if you have:

Liver disease: This medicine is processed in the liver. If you already have liver problems, there may be a higher chance of liver-related side effects. Your doctor may recommend periodic blood tests to monitor liver function during treatment.
Severe kidney disease: In advanced kidney problems, the body may handle medicines differently. Close medical supervision is important to ensure the medicine remains safe and appropriate for you.
Poorly controlled diabetes: This medicine is prescribed as part of overall diabetes management. If blood sugar levels are not well controlled, the benefits on nerve symptoms may be reduced. Your doctor may focus on improving glucose control alongside treatment.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will decide how you should take EPO 150 MG TABLET 10 based on your condition and response to treatment. Take the medicine regularly at the same time each day to get the best benefit.

Over Dose

Taking more than advised may increase the risk of side effects such as stomach discomfort, dizziness, or unusual symptoms. If overdose is suspected, seek medical help immediately.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next scheduled intake, skip the missed dose and continue as usual. Do not take extra tablets to make up for the missed dose.

Store at a temperature below 25°C.
Keep in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight.
Keep in the original packaging.
Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
Do not use it after the expiry date.

Maintain good blood sugar control: Follow your diabetes treatment plan carefully, as this medicine works best when blood sugar levels are well controlled.
Eat a balanced diet: Include vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and adequate protein while limiting sugary and processed foods.
Stay physically active: Regular walking or light exercise, as advised by your doctor, helps improve blood circulation and nerve health.
