Hello, medications commonly used for peripheral neuropathy include:
Yuanhu Zhitong Tablets—These are traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) tablets with notable blood-activating, stasis-resolving, and analgesic effects. Although classified as a TCM preparation, they contain predominantly herbal ingredients and generally have fewer side effects.
Vitamin B1 (Oryzanol)—This medication is particularly effective in treating angina pectoris and may also provide relief for other types of pain; it helps regulate nervous system function.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
