USES OF SENSOGAB CAPSULE Manage painful diabetic neuropathy in adults. HOW SENSOGAB CAPSULE WORKSSENSOGAB CAPSULE relieves nerve pain where alpha-lipoic acid reduces oxidative stress, which is considered a main pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathy development; folic acid (Vitamin B9) is found to improve the functional recovery of nerves, speed of nerve conduction, and cell multiplication; and methylcobalamin takes part in the production of myelin (a compound that covers and protects nerve fibers), thus restoring the damaged nerve cell. Pregabalin binds with high affinity to certain sites in the tissues of the central nervous system and acts as a growth factor for nerve cells, helping to regenerate the damaged nerve tissue, and pyridoxine acts as a coenzyme in a wide range of metabolic functions affecting protein, carbohydrate, and lipid utilization, like the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate and the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
