Epalrestat, Methylcobalamin

Epalrestat Methylcobalamin is a combination medication that consists of Epalrestat and Methylcobalamin. Epalrestat is an enzyme inhibitor used to treat diabetic nephropathy, a kidney disease associated with diabetes. It works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of the blood vessel walls in the kidneys, thereby slowing down the progression of kidney damage.
Methylcobalamin, on the other hand, is a form of vitamin B12. It is essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system and the formation of red blood cells. Methylcobalamin is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially important for the maintenance of a healthy nervous system.
Epalrestat Methylcobalamin is used to treat diabetic nephropathy by targeting both the kidney damage and the deficiency of vitamin B12 that often occurs in patients with diabetes. The combination of these two substances provides a comprehensive approach to managing this complex condition.
