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.

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.
