Meecofix Gb 300 Mg/500mcg Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Meecofix Gb 300 Mg/500mcg Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Methylcobalamin (0.5 mg): This is an activated form of vitamin B12 that plays an important role in nerve health. It promotes protein synthesis leading to regeneration and repair of damaged nerves. Additionally, it enhances the production of myelin sheath, which is a protective layer around nerve fibres, thereby improving nerve conduction velocity. These actions of methylcobalamin contribute to its neuroprotective effects and may improve nerve cell function.
• Gabapentin (300 mg): This component works by binding to certain parts of your nerve cells, known as voltage-gated calcium channels. This action helps modulate the release of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate, substance P and CGRP, which transmit pain signals in your brain. By doing so, gabapentin effectively reduces abnormal excitement in the brain that leads to neuropathic pain.

• Store Meecofix Gb 300 Mg/500mcg Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place where the temperature does not exceed 30°C.
• Keep it away from excessive light and moisture.
• Safeguard this medicine from children's reach.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins, especially vitamin B12, to support nerve health. Foods like dairy products, eggs, and certain fish (like salmon) are good sources of vitamin B12.
• If you're dealing with diabetic neuropathy, it's crucial to maintain your blood sugar levels. Stick to a diet low in sugar and high in fibre. Regular exercise can also help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Always consult your doctor before starting any new diet or exercise regime.
