Product introduction

Zestgab Plus Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat neuropathic pain. It works by protecting the nerve fibers against damage, repairing the damaged nerves, thereby relieving the pain sensation.

Zestgab Plus Tablet may be taken with or without food. However, it is advised to take it at the same time each day as this helps to maintain a consistent level of medicine in the body. Take this medicine in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. Finish the full course of the treatment even if you feel better. It is important not to stop taking this medicine suddenly.

Some common side effects of this medicine include tiredness and uncoordinated body movements. It may also cause dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. However, these are temporary and usually resolve on their own. Please consult your doctor if these do not subside or bother you.

You should avoid alcohol while taking Zestgab Plus Tablet, as it may worsen certain side effects. This medicine can also lead to weight gain, eat a healthy balanced diet, avoid snacking with high-calorie food, and exercise regularly. Inform your doctor if you develop any unusual changes in mood or behavior, new or worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts or behavior.

How Zestgab Plus Tablet works

Zestgab Plus 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.
