In a clinical study, the most common side effects of RELISTOR injection in people with long-lasting (chronic) pain that is not caused by cancer include: stomach-area (abdomen) pain, nausea, diarrhea, sweating, hot flush, tremor, and chills.
Medications are used to control the pain associated with peripheral diabetic neuropathy. Unfortunately, at this time, there arenât any medications to treat and prevent diabetic nerve pain (another name for diabetic neuropathy); the only way to do that is through careful control of blood glucose levels. There are many medication options to relieve pain associated with peripheral nerve damage.
Other than diabetes there are many other causes of neuropathy. Some of the most common include neuropathy related to chronic alcohol use or other drugs (including certain prescription drugs), exposure to toxic levels of heavy metals such as mercury, problems with the thyroid gland, and multiple vitamin deficiencies.
