Neuralgia is a fairly common ailment associated with damage to peripheral nerves. The pain that occurs with pathology can occur absolutely on any part of the body. To cope with unpleasant sensations, doctors recommend using external funds (gels, ointments) and pills for neuralgia. In addition, the cause of the disease must be treated.
Causes of the development of the disease
Peripheral nerve fibers are able to capture information about processes occurring in tissues due to the presence of special receptors. If the fibers are damaged, the receptors begin to transmit distorted impulses to the central nervous system. The pain syndrome affects not only the site of damage, but also spreads to areas where the nerves transmitting the signal pass.
Neuralgia is not an independent pathology, but only speaks of the development of the inflammatory process in the system. Overcooling, trauma, disturbances in the work of the cardiovascular system, infection, poisoning with heavy metals, pathology of the musculoskeletal system, and diabetes mellitus can provoke an ailment. Most often, cases of intercostal neuralgia are diagnosed, in which pain occurs in the chest area.
What to choose pills for neuralgia?
Medicines that help relieve pain with neuralgia eliminate only the symptoms, but they have no effect on the true cause of the disease. Despite this, painkillers are used first. Usually, specialists prescribe such drugs as Ketorol, Analgin, Ketoprofen, Ketonal Uno. Drugs with a prolonged analgesic effect should be taken no more than 1 time per day. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of pain attacks.
Injections have a more pronounced therapeutic effect, but most patients are more comfortable taking pills.
Novocain blockade rescues from neuralgia with severe pain attacks. They are prescribed only by the attending physician. Without fail, it is recommended to take B vitamins. Their lack in the body often leads to the occurrence of a pathological phenomenon. The most effective drugs in this category include the following:
- "Neuromultivitis."
- "Neurovitan."
- "Neurobion."
- magnesium + vitamins of group B ("Doppelgerz Asset").
- Pentovit.
Muscle relaxants and sedatives are also part of therapy for various types of neuralgia. The duration of treatment with each drug is determined solely by the doctor.
Vitamins "Neuromultivit"
Tablets, the price of which ranges from 340-380 rubles, contain water-soluble vitamins B1, B6 and B12 necessary for the body. The main objective of the drug is to stimulate metabolic processes in the central nervous system and restore damaged areas of the nervous tissue.
Such a complex of vitamins has an analgesic effect and can be used for neuralgia, pain syndromes, mononeuropathy. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) is essential for regulating lipid, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is involved in maintaining the normal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Vitamin B12 (cyanobaclamin) is necessary for normal blood formation and the formation of red blood cells.
