Metnax

what is major differences between metnax and neurotin in treatment of neurophy for diabetes....taking neurotin now .... doctor said i should try metnax any comments ? ## Metanx is actually a nutritional supplement and, it can help some people, if their pain is caused or aggravated by a deficiency in the vital nutrients it contains. However, there is no guarantee that it will help you. Neurontin is an actual medication, it contains the anticonvulsant Gabapentin, which has been proven to help with certain types of nerve pain. How has it been working for you?

Does Metnax cause dry mouth and buring tongue irratition?

I take deplin 7.5 once a day with lexapro 10mg, for depression. These meds were prescribed by my psychiatrist. I also take a metnax tablets twice a day for non diabetic foot and hand neuropathy. This med was prescribed by my foot doctor. I have biopsy proven sarcoidosis of the lungs, joints, kidneys and eyes. Is it okay to take deplin and metnax together? Are these the same drug and can I overdose taking them together? ## Hi, I work with Deplin. I think I just answered you on another thread, but just to provide information to other readers, here it is again. L-methylfolate is an active ingredient in several medical foods manufactured by Pamlab LLC. We recognize that patients may have multiple diagnoses that may warrant prescribing more than one of our medical foods. Although each medica...

skin radish due to iching on body unable to bear . suggest medicine. ## Iching on body causes radish line on skin and after some time it disappears . Is it due to Drug METNAX which i use to take for burning sensation and pain on foot and lower part of knee.I am diabetic since 25 years and 75 years old ## Have you consulted a doctor? They are the only person who would be able to help you get to the root of the problem. It could be caused from the Metanx or something in it, or it could be entirely unrelated and a definitive answer can't be given from just the limited information in a post on the internet. Are you on any other medications?
