About Alrista Plus Tablet 10's

Alrista Plus Tablet 10's is a combination medicine indicated for the management of diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a condition in which nerve damage occurs due to high blood glucose levels. It primarily damages the nerves in the legs and feet. Diabetic neuropathic pain is common in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
 
Alrista Plus Tablet 10's contains Epalrestat and Methylcobalamin. Epalrestat works by inhibiting the aldose reductase enzyme, which catalyses the conversion of glucose to sorbitol, thereby preventing the accumulation of sorbitol.

Methylcobalamin helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Together, Alrista Plus Tablet 10's helps in treating diabetic neuropathy.
