This combination of Methylcobalamin, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Folic Acid, and Pyridoxinoxine is a nutritional supplement commonly prescribed for the treatment of neuropathy and vitamin B12 deficiency-related nerve disorders. Each component plays a vital role in maintaining nerve health and supporting metabolic functions.
While the individual ingredients have been approved and used for decades, this particular combination has gained popularity over the last two decades for managing diabetic neuropathy, alcohol-related nerve damage, and general nerve pain. It is not an FDA-approved fixed-dose combination in the U.S. but is widely used in India and other countries under prescription.

Clinical use has shown that combining antioxidants with B-complex vitamins helps regenerate damaged nerves, reduce tingling and numbness, and improve overall nerve function, especially in chronic conditions like diabetes.

This supplement is commonly prescribed for:

• Treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy
• Management of alcoholic neuropathy
• Relief from numbness, tingling, and nerve pain
• Supportive therapy in vitamin B12 deficiency-related neurological symptoms.
• Adjunctive therapy in nerve injuries or post-viral neuropathies.

This supplement is typically available in oral tablet or capsule form.

Common formulation:

• Methylcobalamin: 1500 mcg
• Alpha Lipoic Acid: 100–200 mg
• Folic Acid: 1.5 mg
• Pyridoxinoxine: 3 mg

Dosage: Usually one tablet daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. It is best taken after meals to reduce stomach discomfort. In severe deficiency, doctors may recommend additional B12 injections.

Common side effects:

• Nausea or upset stomach
• Headache
• Dizzines
• Mild skin rash

Rare but serious side effects:

• Allergic reactions (swelling, itching, breathing difficulty)
• Severe gastrointestinal discomfort
• Nerve irritation with high doses of Pyridoxinoxine (rare)

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Report any persistent or serious symptoms to your doctor.

• Avoid self-medicating for neuropathy—consult a doctor for appropriate evaluation and dosage.
• High doses of Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxinoxine) over long periods can lead to nerve toxicity.
• Patients with kidney or liver disease should use this medicine cautiously.
• Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use this supplement if recommended by a doctor.

Before starting this supplement, inform your doctor if you:

• Have any chronic illnesses like diabetes, liver, or kidney disease
• Are taking other medications for seizures, infections, or chemotherapy
• Are pregnant or planning to conceive
• Have a history of allergic reactions to vitamin supplements.

Avoid alcohol and maintain a balanced diet to support nerve recovery. Regular monitoring of vitamin B12 and folate levels may be advised in long-term use. 

This supplement is most effective when taken consistently as part of a long-term nerve care plan. Do not skip doses or stop without medical guidance. If symptoms like tingling or numbness persist or worsen, inform your healthcare provider for further evaluation. Maintain healthy lifestyle practices such as blood sugar control, physical activity, and avoiding alcohol to support nerve health. Store the medicine in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children.
