How Axonrich Tablet works

Axonrich Tablet is a combination of four nutritional supplements (Alpha Lipoic Acid, L-Methyl Folate Calcium, Methylcobalamin, Pyridoxal-5-phosphate) and a neuroactive medicine (Pregabalin). The nutritional supplements work by protecting the nerve fibres and promoting nerve repair. The neuroactive medicine decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
