How BrandName works
BrandName is a combination of two component pregabalin and methylcobalamin that work by teaming up like a firefighter and a repair technician for your nerves. Pregabalin rushes in to calm the overactive “alarm signals” that nerves send during pain especially in conditions like diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, or postherpetic neuralgia. Meanwhile, methylcobalamin (a powerful form of vitamin B12) steps in to nourish and repair the damaged nerve fibers, helping them heal and function better over time. Together, they not only silence the noise of nerve pain but also help rebuild the wiring underneath.
