Is Evion LC Safe For Sciatic Patients Who Have Lower Back Pain?
Question: Is Evion LC bad for sciatica? My doctor has prescribed it twice a day for 6 weeks
Brief Answer:
Not bad.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is just a supplement.
Evion LC may not be bad for sciatic patients who have low back pain because of muscular spasm. It is prescribed as part of routine clinical practice. Since it has L carnitine which helps to improve low carnitine levels in the muscles.
Evion is just Vitamin E.
The use of these supplements in sciatica is still not understood clearly.
Hope I have answered your query.
