Metgab Plus Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Pregabalin (75 mg): It binds to specific parts within your nervous system known as voltage-gated calcium channels. By doing this, it reduces the influx of calcium which in turn decreases the release of substances like glutamate and substance P that send out pain signals. This action helps to provide relief from pain and control seizures.
• Methylcobalamin (750 mcg): This is an active form of vitamin B12 that plays a vital role in maintaining the health and functioning of nerve cells. Specifically, it aids in the production of myelin, a protective layer around nerves that supports their structural integrity and healing process.

• Keep your Metgab Plus Capsule 10 at room temperature between 20°C and 25°C.
• Always protect it from moisture.
• Ensure the container is tightly closed after use.
• Store it in a place where children cannot reach it.
• Be mindful to use this medicine before its expiry date.

• If you're managing neuropathic pain due to diabetes, maintaining a balanced diet with low sugar content can be beneficial. Regularly monitor your blood glucose levels.
• For neuropathic conditions linked to spinal cord injury, engaging in gentle physiotherapy exercises under professional guidance may aid in managing symptoms.
