Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
Healthy eating habits:
- Consume a diet full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
- To promote nerve health, include foods high in protein, such as eggs, milk, dal, and fish.
- For natural folate, add leafy greens like spinach and methi.
- Add whole grains, nuts, and seeds for antioxidants and B vitamins.
- Limit junk food and alcohol, as they hinder vitamin absorption.
Lifestyle changes:
- To enhance nerve function, continue engaging in regular physical activity (e.g., walking or light exercise).
- Maintain a regular sleep schedule to promote energy levels and nerve restoration.
- If you have diabetes, control your blood sugar levels since elevated blood sugar exacerbates nerve damage.

- Use relaxation techniques, such as yoga or meditation, to reduce stress.
Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Nutritional deficiencies: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases. Sometimes, your body is unable to absorb many nutrients even if you are consuming them. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems, like a weakened immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.
Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused by damaged sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease, or due to infection or injury. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensation is common with neuropathic pain. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feelings, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).
FAQs
Alpha Lipoic Acid+folic Acid+mecobalamin+pyridoxine+tocopherol is used to treat neuropathic pain associated with diabetic neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy. It is also used to treat nutritional deficiencies.
Alpha Lipoic Acid+folic Acid+mecobalamin+pyridoxine+tocopherol is a vitamin supplement and consists of Alpha-lipoic acid, Folic acid, Pyridoxine, Tocopherol, and Mecobalamin. When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be replenished even through food sources, Alpha Lipoic Acid+folic Acid+mecobalamin+pyridoxine+tocopherol helps normalise these deficient levels. Collectively, Alpha Lipoic Acid+folic Acid+mecobalamin+pyridoxine+tocopherol treats nutritional deficiencies.
Vitamin B6 deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate Pyridoxine levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including foods rich in Pyridoxine, such as milk, eggs, beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, peanuts, soya beans, wheat germ, oats, and bananas. If your Vitamin B6 levels are still low, your doctor may recommend supplements.
Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs when you do not have enough Mecobalamin levels in your body. You can include natural sources of Vitamin B12, such as eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese, in your diet to treat the deficiency. If you still have low B12 levels, please consult your doctor about B12 supplementation.
Folate deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate folic acid/folate levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including food sources rich in folic acid, like broccoli, brussels sprouts, leafy green vegetables, cabbage, kale, spring greens, spinach, peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, and breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid. If your folic acid levels are still low, your doctor may recommend supplements.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrients from food), as it may be hard to absorb vitamins orally. Your doctor may suggest other dosage forms in such a case.
Pyridoxine in Alpha Lipoic Acid+folic Acid+mecobalamin+pyridoxine+tocopherol may interfere with laboratory tests, such as urine tests for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you take Alpha Lipoic Acid+folic Acid+mecobalamin+pyridoxine+tocopherol before undergoing blood and urine examinations.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and follow your usual dosage.
