Pharmacology of Aldorin 50 Tablet
Epalrestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor. Aldose reductase inhibitors have different mechanisms of action, affecting the underlying disease process of diabetic neuropathy, although the degree of involvement of the polyol pathway has not been determined. The drug inhibits the accumulation of sorbitol in cells by inhibiting the action of aldose reductase, which converts glucose from sugar to sorbitol. Epalrestat can improve sensory and motor nerve conduction velocity and subjective symptoms of neuropathy.
