Antineuropathic
Antineuropathic agents are drugs that are used to treat symptoms of neuropathic conditions, such as nerve pain, numbness, and tingling. Neuropathic conditions are caused by damage to the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which is the network of nerves that control sensation and movement throughout the body. Neuropathic conditions can be caused by trauma, injury, or disease, such as diabetes and HIV/AIDS. Antineuropathic agents are used to reduce the pain, numbness, and tingling associated with these conditions. They can also help to improve nerve function, reduce inflammation, and strengthen nerve connections. Antineuropathic agents work by blocking the transmission of pain signals, reducing inflammation, and preventing the formation of new nerve cells. They can also be used to reduce the activity of certain neurotransmitters that are involved in the transmission of nerve signals. Common antineuropathic agents include gabapentin, pregabalin, and lidocaine.
