Introduction
Axormax is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredients Pregabalin, Methylcobalamin, Folic Acid, Vitamin B6, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. It is commonly known by its brand name, Axormax. This medication is primarily used to treat certain neurological conditions and vitamin deficiencies.
Uses
Axormax is prescribed to individuals who are experiencing neuropathic pain associated with conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and fibromyalgia. Additionally, it is used to address vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiencies.

Pregabalin, one of the active ingredients in Axormax, works by reducing the release of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, thereby decreasing the intensity of pain signals.
