"What condition does Epalrestat Tablets treat?"
What diseases can Epalrestat Tablets treat? Epalrestat is a drug for treating diabetic neuropathy. Due to various factors such as increased oxygen free radicals, hyperglycemic toxicity, and circulatory disorders in diabetic patients, it can lead to peripheral nerve injury, resulting in diabetic neuropathy, causing various discomforts such as limb numbness, pain, and abnormal sensation. It can also damage autonomic nerves, central nerves, and other nerves throughout the body, leading to corresponding discomfort symptoms. Epalrestat can reversibly inhibit the action of aldose reductase, inhibit the accumulation of sorbitol in red blood cells, improve the self-conscious symptoms and nerve dysfunction of diabetic patients, and can treat diabetic neuropathy to improve symptoms.
Adverse reactions of Epalrestat may include allergies, occasionally manifesting as erythema, blisters, rashes, and itching. Abnormal liver function. Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and gastric discomfort. Elevated creatinine. Very rarely, it can cause dizziness, headache, neck pain, fatigue, lethargy, edema, pain, limb pain, numbness, and hair loss.
