A member asked:
How long would i need to take metanx to find some relief from neuropathy pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BE VERY PATIENT: MetanX does work, but takes many months. Biopsy proven improvement in diabetic small fibre neuropathy can be seen as early as 8-9 months, but may take up to 10-12 months for full effect. It is not a pain medication, and if pain is issue, suggest trying additional med. But this is a medical food for specific nerve issues. Do you possess a proven peripheral neuropathy??
