Methylcobalamin plays a crucial role in nerve function by acting as a cofactor in several metabolic pathways. Pregabalin reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, thereby decreasing nerve pain signals. The combined effect provides both nutritional support and pain relief. The exact mechanism of their combined action is not fully elucidated but is thought to be synergistic.
