EPSTATE SR 150

EPSTATE SR 150 is a sustained-release medication formulated with Epalrestat, a potent agent used primarily in the management of diabetic neuropathy. Designed to offer effective relief from nerve-related complications associated with diabetes, EPSTATE SR 150 helps improve nerve function and alleviate symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and pain.

Key Ingredients:

• Epalrestat 150 mg: The main active component, an aldose reductase inhibitor that targets the underlying cause of diabetic nerve damage.

Key Benefits:

• Helps reduce nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels.
• Alleviates symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, including numbness, tingling, and burning sensations.
• Supports nerve regeneration and improves nerve conduction.
• Contributes to better quality of life for individuals with diabetic nerve complications.
• Sustained-release formulation ensures a steady therapeutic effect throughout the day.

How Does It Work?

Epalrestat works by inhibiting the enzyme aldose reductase, which plays a significant role in the development of diabetic neuropathy. Elevated blood sugar levels lead to increased aldose reductase activity, resulting in nerve damage due to the accumulation of harmful sorbitol. By blocking this enzyme, Epalrestat prevents sorbitol buildup, thereby protecting nerves from damage and promoting nerve health.

Directions for Use:

• Take EPSTATE SR 150 exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• Usually administered once daily due to its sustained-release formulation.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not crush or chew.
• Consistency in taking the medication is essential for optimal results.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of therapy.

Side Effects:

• Mild gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea or indigestion
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Allergic reactions like rash or itching (rare)
• Liver enzyme alterations (monitoring may be required)
