Epalrestat Tablets ER (50mg), marketed as EPSTATE SR 150, are extended-release tablets designed to manage diabetic complications. They primarily target diabetic neuropathy, a condition caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels that damage nerves.

How Does It Work

Epalrestat works by inhibiting aldose reductase, an enzyme involved in converting glucose to sorbitol. This conversion process can lead to an accumulation of sorbitol, which causes oxidative stress and nerve damage. By blocking this enzyme, Epalrestat helps prevent nerve damage and alleviates symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.
