I started taking the above product 2 x day - light purple marked MG1 I have neuropathy with very hot feet , I am not diabetic have had it for about 10 yrs always getting worse am taking Lyrica 50 mg 3 x day ## Sorry to hear about your situation Pat. I really hope things end up turning around for the better sooner than later. Has the Lyrica even been helping at all? I know a few people who have taken this medication for nerve and only got temporary relief from it at best. If this is the case for you as well, I'd probably suggest eating more fruits and vegetables alongside acupuncture or any herbal remedies (such as essential oils).

What is L-MEFOLATE-PYRIDOX-MECOBALAMIN? What is generic? ## Those are the active ingredients, so that would be the generic. L-Mefolate is a form of Folic Acid, Mecobalamin is a form of Vitamin B 12 and Pyridoxine is a form of Vitamin B6, so this a nutritional supplement. Are there any other questions or comments? ## My insurance carrier will no longer fill my Rx for this Metanx generic. They say there is an OTC drug available now called Futanx. I cannot find any information about Futanx. I would appreciate finding out the name of the manufacturer or somewhere that I could buy this drug for less than the $205/50 tabs quoted by my insurance carrier. Thank you.

Why is this prescription form of Folate, B-12 and B-6 prescribed? Why not over the counter? ## Since you didn't provide a name brand or dosing, I can't be completely certain about this one in particular, but some of them are prescription only due to the amount of the vitamins that they contain. Some dosages aren't appropriate for someone that doesn't suffer a deficiency, as getting to much of some of them, especially B12 can be very dangerous. Learn more B vitamin details here. Are there any other questions or comments?
