Neurokem 50 Capsule

Product Overview:

Neurokem 50 Capsule is commonly prescribed to manage nerve-related pain (neuropathic pain), which can result from conditions such as diabetes, shingles, spinal cord injuries, or other neurological disorders. It is also beneficial for relieving widespread muscle discomfort and stiffness associated with fibromyalgia.

In addition to its pain-relieving properties, this medicine belongs to the antiepileptic drug class and is sometimes used as an add-on therapy to treat certain types of seizures. It may also be considered for managing anxiety symptoms when other medications are not suitable or effective.

This medication can be taken with or without food, but it should ideally be taken at the same time every day to maintain stable levels in the body. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dosage and duration based on your specific health condition and how you respond to the treatment. Often, treatment begins with a low dose that is gradually increased. It may take a few weeks before you experience the full benefits. It’s important to follow the prescribed course without skipping doses, as stopping abruptly may worsen symptoms.

Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, weight gain, swelling in different parts of the body, and trouble concentrating. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or become bothersome, you should consult your doctor.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Caution is advised while driving or operating machinery, as the medicine may impair alertness or vision. Alcohol should be avoided, as it can enhance drowsiness and dizziness caused by the medication.

How It Works:

Neurokem 50 Capsule contains a medicine that modulates nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord. For seizure control, it stabilizes abnormal electrical activity in the brain. For nerve pain, it works by blocking pain signals that travel along damaged nerves. This dual action makes it useful for multiple conditions related to nerve dysfunction.
