About Amitomec Tablet 10's

Amitomec Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medications known as 'anticonvulsants' used to manage neuropathic pain due to damaged nerves. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, with a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation. 

Amitomec Tablet 10's is a suspended-release tablet that combines two drugs: Mecobalamin (vitamin B12) and Amitriptyline (anticonvulsant). Mecobalamin (also known as methylcobalamin) is a form of Vitamin B12 required by the brain and nerves for producing red blood cells. Amitriptyline works by changing how nerves send messages to your brain. Together, Amitomec Tablet 10's helps to treat neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage). 

Take Amitomec Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Amitomec Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, heartburn, dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, and uncoordinated body movements. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Amitomec Tablet 10's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor. Amitomec Tablet 10's causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Amitomec Tablet 10's should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Methylcobalamin is used to restore vitamin B12 in the body to treat damaged nerve conditions due to diabetes or other traumatic situations.

On the other side, Amitriptyline prevents neuropathic pain (pain due to damaged nerves), fibromyalgia (musculoskeletal pain), and epilepsy (fits). It works by calming the damaged or overactive nerves in your body that may cause pain or seizures, thereby decreasing the number of pain signals sent out by damaged nerves in the body.
