How Zengaline-PG Tablet works
Zengaline-PG Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Levo-carnitine, Methylcobalamin and Pregabalin. Levo-carnitine provides essential nutrients to the nerves. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B which helps in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Pregabalin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells.
