Maxgalin M Capsule (Methylcobalamin + Pregabalin) | Used for Neuropathic Pain
Maxgalin M Capsule contains Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12). It is used for the management of neuropathic pain, a type of pain caused by irritation or damage to nerves. Pregabalin helps reduce abnormal nerve signaling, while Methylcobalamin provides vitamin B12 needed for normal nerve function.
Product Overview
Maxgalin M Capsule is a combination medicine containing Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin. It is used in the management of neuropathic pain, which may occur when nerves are damaged, irritated, or functioning abnormally.
Pregabalin belongs to a group of medicines called gabapentinoids. It reduces the release of certain excitatory neurotransmitters by binding to specific calcium-channel subunits in the nervous system. This helps reduce abnormal nerve signaling associated with neuropathic pain.
Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that has an important role in normal nerve function, red blood cell formation, and cellular metabolism. Adequate vitamin B12 is necessary for maintaining the normal structure and function of nerve cells.
The combination of Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin may therefore be prescribed when neuropathic pain requires treatment together with vitamin B12 supplementation. The exact suitability of this combination depends on the underlying condition and the individual's medical needs.
Pregabalin can cause dizziness and drowsiness, particularly when treatment is started or the dose is changed. Activities requiring alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, should be avoided until you know how the medicine affects you. Alcohol and other medicines that cause sedation may increase these effects.

How Maxgalin M Capsule Works
Pregabalin
Pregabalin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This reduces the release of certain neurotransmitters involved in excessive nerve signaling and helps reduce neuropathic pain.
Methylcobalamin
Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 involved in normal neurological function, DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and cellular metabolism. Adequate vitamin B12 is important for maintaining normal nerve function.
Precaution
Dizziness and Drowsiness
Pregabalin may cause dizziness, sleepiness, blurred vision, or reduced coordination. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing activities requiring alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
Alcohol and Sedative Medicines
Alcohol and other medicines that cause drowsiness can increase the central nervous system effects of Pregabalin. Inform your healthcare professional about any medicines or substances that may cause sedation.
Kidney Problems
Pregabalin is mainly eliminated through the kidneys. People with reduced kidney function may require an adjustment of the prescribed dose. Inform your healthcare professional if you have kidney disease.
Breathing Problems
Pregabalin has been associated with serious breathing difficulties in some people, particularly those with respiratory risk factors or when combined with other medicines that depress the central nervous system. Seek medical attention if severe breathing difficulty develops.
Swelling
Pregabalin can sometimes cause swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, or other areas. Tell your healthcare professional if significant or persistent swelling occurs.
Heart Failure
Tell your healthcare professional if you have heart failure or a history of significant fluid retention before taking Pregabalin.
Usage
Take Maxgalin M Capsule exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
Swallow the capsule whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule unless specifically instructed to do so.
Pregabalin can generally be taken with or without food. Follow the same schedule each day as directed by your healthcare professional.
The prescribed dose and duration depend on factors such as the type and severity of neuropathic pain, kidney function, response to treatment, and other medicines being used. Do not change the dose or frequency on your own.
If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the time of your next scheduled dose. Do not take two doses together to compensate for a missed dose.
Do not stop Pregabalin suddenly without medical advice. If treatment needs to be discontinued, your healthcare professional may reduce the dose gradually.
