Hi I'd like to know a North American alternate to Nereve Up OD. Thanks ## Nervup-OD is just a nutritional supplement that contains Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), alpha lipoic acid, folic acid and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). All of these are available over the counter in the U.S. in most vitamin shops, drug stores and grocery stores, you'd just need to look for something that contains the same ingredients. You can also ask a pharmacist for assistance. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks for the reply.

I have been suffering from bortezomib induced neuropathy(BINP). I was advised to be on gabantin-3x300mg. No apprec...
