Neuropathic pain reliever and nerve supplement
Last reviewed June 2026
Who is this for?
This is a combination supplement and nerve pain medicine that contains Pregabalin (which calms overactive nerves to reduce pain), Methylcobalamin (a form of Vitamin B12), Alpha Lipoic Acid (a powerful antioxidant that protects nerves), Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), and Folic Acid — all working together to repair damaged nerves and reduce nerve pain.
Binds to α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, reducing calcium influx and neurotransmitter release in dorsal horn neurons, thereby attenuating neuropathic pain signaling. Methylcobalamin, pyridoxine, and folic acid restore essential B vitamin cofactors for myelin synthesis, mitochondrial energy production, and homocysteine metabolism, while alpha lipoic acid acts as a mitochondrial antioxidant to reduce oxidative stress and improve nerve conduction velocity in diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Usually taken as one capsule once or twice daily, as your doctor prescribes. Swallow the capsule whole with water, preferably after food to reduce stomach upset. Do not crush or chew the capsule. Your doctor may start you on a lower dose and increase it gradually.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Do not take two capsules at once to make up for the missed dose.
Buy only from licensed pharmacies — products like Larykul Forte Capsules should come in proper sealed packaging, not loose capsules from roadside sellers. This medicine can make you feel dizzy or sleepy, so avoid driving or operating heavy machines, especially when you first start taking it. Do not stop taking it suddenly without your doctor's advice, as this can cause withdrawal symptoms like trouble sleeping or anxiety.
Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can increase drowsiness and dizziness dangerously. Be careful if you are taking other pain medicines like tramadol or sleeping pills, as the combination can make you very drowsy. If you are on diabetes medicines like metformin or insulin, monitor your blood sugar closely as this combination may affect sugar levels.
