Type 2 diabetes is often accompanied by peripheral nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy. To alleviate the symptoms of this condition, doctors may prescribe nutritional supplements containing B vitamins, such as Milga and Milga Advance. Although they share the same primary purpose, they differ in composition and some uses.
Milga Ingredients
Milga primarily consists of three types of B vitamins essential for nerve health:
Vitamin B1 (thiamine): Contributes to carbohydrate metabolism and energy production for nerve function.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine): Plays an important role in nervous system function and neurotransmitter formation.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin): Essential for red blood cell formation and maintaining nerve health.
Milga Advance Ingredients
In addition to the B vitamins in Milga, Milga Advance contains other ingredients designed to further support nerve health:
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)
Alpha lipoic acid: A powerful antioxidant that helps protect nerves from damage caused by free radicals and improves nerve function.
Methylcobalamin: A more active form of vitamin B12, believed to be more effective in supporting nerve health.

Indications for Use of Milga Tablets
Milga is primarily used to compensate for B vitamin deficiencies and support nerve health in conditions such as:
Diabetic neuropathy.
Peripheral nerve pain from other causes.
B vitamin deficiencies resulting from malnutrition or certain medical conditions.
Indications for Use of Milga Advance Tablets
Milga Advance is used for conditions similar to Milga, but may be preferred in cases requiring additional nerve support thanks to the presence of alpha lipoic acid and methylcobalamin, such as:
Advanced diabetic neuropathy with severe pain.
Conditions requiring additional nerve protection from oxidative damage.
