Thiotacid 300 mg 30 Tablets

Description

Alpha-lipoic acid is a natural substance made within the body. Yeast, liver, kidney, spinach, broccoli, and potatoes are good sources of alpha-lipoic acid. It is also made in the laboratory for use as a medicine. Alpha-lipoic acid is commonly used to treat nerve pain in people with diabetes (diabetic neuropathy). The pain may be described as burning, tingling, numbness, throbbing, or stabbing. It is also used in peripheral neuropathy (in non-diabetic patients) such as sciatica and lower back pain. How does it work ? Alpha-lipoic acid appears to help prevent certain types of cell damage in the body and restore levels of vitamins such as vitamin E and vitamin C. There is also evidence that alpha-lipoic acid can improve the function and conduction of nerve cells in diabetes. Alpha lipoic acid is used in the body to break down carbohydrates and generate energy for other organs in the body. Alpha-lipoic acid appears to act as an antioxidant, meaning it may offer protection to the brain under conditions of damage or injury. Its antioxidant effects may also be beneficial in some liver diseases. It may be effective for: Nerve pain in people with diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) and nerve inflammation in people without diabetes. Taking 600–1,800 mg of alpha-lipoic acid orally improves symptoms such as pain and numbness in the legs and arms in people with diabetes. It may take 3–5 weeks of treatment for symptoms to improve. How to use Doctors should prescribe appropriate doses first: For diabetic nerve pain (diabetic neuropathy): 600–1800 mg of alpha lipoic acid daily for 4 weeks, depending on pain severity. Then 600 mg daily for 12–16 weeks. For nerve pain in non-diabetic patients (sciatica and lower back pain) 600-1800 mg - depending on the severity of the pain - 6-12 weeks. It should be taken on an empty stomach. Warnings and precautions Thiotacid should be avoided if you have a history of allergy to any of its ingredients.
