Updated

I want to know what is in this medicine, the amount of each ingredient - how much more than an over the counter drug.

I have diabetic neuropathy also. It is so bad that my moterskills are affected. I was diagnosed with with surggery on my ulnar nerves they moved the nerves because they thought tthat was the problem with my hands. I was miss diagnosed. Metanx has been that has cured 75 to 85percent of the problem for me. My insurance wouldn't paythe drug store was going to charge me $439.00 per month after roughly 60 hours on the web ifound it on an mail order pharmacy for about $61.00 a month. It has been a godsend for me. I have been taking for 2weeks and i have at least 70 percent better. The place i found is called BDH pharmacy. On the web it can be found under 'Brand Direct Health Pharmax'. i hope that if i can help just one other than i will sleep better at night. Kim from Buffalo

I just started this metanx a little over a week now. I was given a pamphlet on it. It states that metanx contains the active ingredients of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 which allow the body to absorb them without having to break them down first like you would have to do with OTC vitamins. It is only available with a prescription and you take two of the pills a day. Hope this information helps.

I am blown away after suffering debilitating neuropathic pain for 5 years after the first day of taking this my life completely changed. Now, a couple weeks in, I'm still feeling amazing. Hope it does as much for you :)

L- Methyl-B6-B12 3 Tab Virt is what my doctor prescribes instead of Metanx. Metanx is just a super vitamin. I pay $38.00 a month at Fred's Pharmacy for 30 pills. Best help is maintaining good sugar mubers.

The breakdown is 2.8mgs of Folic Acid, 25mgs of B6 and 2mgs of B12.

You can read more about this on the manufacturers information site:

RE: Absorbtion of supplements:
It has been my experience that typical otc supplements are generally inferior to whole food supplements - found in health food stores and some natural practitioners offices. I have been under the care of an herbalist/acupuncturist/nutritionist for a few years and since I stopped taking pharmaceutically created supplements I have improved dramatically.
I stopped buying Metanex ($50 a pop!) in favor of Vitamins b6, b12 and folic acid through my practitioner from Standard Process brand whole food supplements for early stage neuropathy in my feet and have noticed a constant improvement.
I also take Gymnema (to support my pancreas) and Alpha Lipoic Acid for my recently diagnosed Type 2 diabetes. I take not RX meds and my test numbers are all normal.

I just started taking Metanx 3-35-2mg tabs. After two doses I am losing hair like crazy. I am hoping this is temporary. Anyone else experience this?

I'm struggling with money so my physician put me on Folinic Plus one a day. It cost me $16.00 @ the pharmacy. It took a couple days to get because the pharmacy didn't have it. But I thought it was worth it. I didn't have to call anyone to order or give anyone my information. I just went to the pharmacy and they ordered it for me.

instead of paying 140.00 for a med....get a lozenge b6, b12, folic acid vitamin at a health food store. crack the lozenge and let it disolve under your tongue. you will be so much better off and have more money. only costs around 15.00

SO for a 3 month supply it is going to cost me roughly $200.00 for 3 vitamins! No wonder patients are unhappy with pharmaceutical companies. Besides that I understand that Metanx is a medical food which essentially is a vitamin and is not a prescription and is not approved by the FDA as a prescription. Something is a-miss here and I don't like it......especially the price.

When my podiatrist prescribed MENTANX the vendor was extremely aggressive...I hardly got home from the podiatrist and a local rep called my home AND continued to call me home. When I didn't answer or call back, THEN the national office started calling. I called them and asked them to stop calling; and they did just that.

The aggressiveness of the vendor was a REAL turn off.

Just $174.00 for 90 day supply...I have to think about it.
