What is neuralin for?

The use of neuralin®varies greatly depending on the composition of it, since the capsules have ketoprofen and the solution with dexamethasone phosphate and lidocaine hydrochloride, which makes it a much more effective version. We mention below its main uses:

1. Neuralgia, neuritis, polyneuritis and peripheral neuropathies

This type of conditions or disorders are characterized by intense pain as a result of inflammation of one or more nerves.

To highlight: The application of neuralin® as a treatment reduces symptoms and, due to the presence of thiamine, produces relief and reduces recurrences. (two)

2. Facial paralysis and torticollis

Facial paralysis is the loss of voluntary muscle movement on one side of the face, which can be partial or total. It is usually caused by inflammation of a nerve and the action of the B complex vitamins present in neuralin®, allow the patient to recover,improving the transmission of nerve impulses and their signals . (3)

in addition to reducing the inflammation produced.

3. Low back pain, sciatica, myalgia and tendinitis

In the case of these painful disorders caused by tension, inflammation or injury to tendons and muscles, neuralin® allows the reduction of symptoms and the recovery of tissues, thanks to the presence of B complex vitamins.
