About Metax Capsule 3 mg / 35 mg / 2 mg

Metax Capsule 3 mg / 35 mg / 2 mg Uses

• Manages diabetic peripheral neuropathy symptoms like burning, tingling and numbness in hands and feet
• Supports nerve repair by improving microvascular blood flow to damaged nerve tissue
• Corrects underlying vitamin B12, active B6 and L-methylfolate deficiencies common in diabetic patients
• Used as an adjunct medical food alongside standard diabetes and neuropathy management

Metax Capsule 3 mg / 35 mg / 2 mg Benefits

• Combines three bioavailable, active forms of B vitamins in one capsule for easier absorption
• May reduce nerve pain intensity and improve sensation with consistent use
• Helps replenish nutrients often depleted by long-term metformin use in diabetics
• Generally well tolerated with a low risk of significant side effects

What Experts Say

Physicians classify Metax Capsule as a medical food rather than a conventional drug, since it delivers L-methylfolate, pyridoxal 5-phosphate and cyanocobalamin in forms the body can use directly. Pyridoxal 5-phosphate is already the active form of vitamin B6, so absorption does not depend on liver conversion the way standard pyridoxine does.

Pakistan carries one of the highest rates of type 2 diabetes globally, and many long-term metformin users develop measurable B12 deficiency over time, which can worsen nerve symptoms. Doctors managing diabetic neuropathy often add a targeted B-vitamin formula like this one alongside glucose control, addressing one contributing cause of nerve pain directly rather than only masking discomfort with painkillers.

Physicians usually recommend one to two capsules daily, adjusted to symptom severity and baseline vitamin levels. Because folate, active B6 and B12 have wide safety margins, serious side effects are uncommon, though very high long-term B6 intake has rarely been linked to nerve symptoms, so patients should not exceed the recommended dose without medical advice.
