Is It Safe To Take Metanx To Treat Peripheral Neuropathy?
I have peripheral neuropathy and have been told by my neurologist that there is not a cure but there are drugs that can help with symptoms. I d prefer not to go down the drug road unless necessary. I recently had a neuroma removed and discussed the neuropathy with the podiatrist. He indicated that I might see some results with Metanx. Just starting to look into it and am curious about possible effectiveness.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Metanx is a multivitamin contained methycobalamin, pyridoxal and L methyfolate.
There are types of neuropathy that are related to a deficiency in these vitamins. If this is the case for you then the use of this vitamins or a similar vitamin may help.
There are some cases of neuropathy that are not related to these vitamins where it may not have an effect.
I hope this helps
