Myrica 50 is used to relieve nerve-related pain (neuropathic pain) caused by conditions such as diabetes, shingles (post-herpetic neuralgia), spinal cord injury, and other nerve disorders. It is also effective in managing fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by widespread muscle pain and stiffness.
Myrica 50 belongs to the antiepileptic class of medicines and is used as an add-on therapy for certain types of seizures. Additionally, it may be prescribed for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) when other treatment options are unsuitable.
