Neurokem D 50/20 Capsule DR

Product Overview:
Neurokem D 50/20 Capsule DR is prescribed to manage neuropathic pain, which results from nerve damage or dysfunction. This medication works by regulating calcium channel activity in nerve cells to reduce pain signals. Additionally, it elevates certain brain chemicals that help maintain mental balance and inhibit pain transmission.

You may take Neurokem D 50/20 Capsule DR with or without food, but it’s recommended to take it at the same time daily to maintain consistent medicine levels in your body. Since this medication can be habit-forming, it’s important to follow your doctor’s prescribed dose and treatment duration carefully. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but do not double up on doses. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if your symptoms improve, as stopping suddenly may worsen your condition.

Common side effects include swelling in the limbs, nausea, headaches, dry mouth, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, and sleepiness. Because of its sedative effects, avoid driving or activities requiring focus until you understand how the medication affects you. Weight gain may also occur, so maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise is advised. Inform your healthcare provider immediately if you notice any significant mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts.

Before starting this treatment, discuss any existing kidney or liver problems with your doctor. It is also important to disclose any other medications you are taking, as they may influence how this drug works. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.

Mechanism of Action:
This medication combines two active ingredients: pregabalin and duloxetine. Pregabalin reduces the release of neurotransmitters involved in pain signaling, while duloxetine increases serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the brain to help modulate pain perception. Together, they work to alleviate nerve pain effectively.

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as possible unless it’s close to the next scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose to compensate for a missed one.
