Topic: Pharmacy



Expert: Dr. Ravindra Bhaskar Ghooi
Date: 4/9/2008
Subject: calcium pantothenate

Question
what is the role of calcium pantothenate 100 in correcting the problem of burning sole ?

Answer
Hi Deepan,
A variety of disorders are associated with burning sole syndrome. These are:
Diabetes
Peripheral artery disease (see Artery symptoms)
Peripheral neuropathy
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
Sun burn
Chemical burn
Heat burn
Peripheral nerve trauma (see Nerve symptoms)
Peripheral nerve compression (see Nerve symptoms)
Sciatica
Cold
Cerebrovascular accident
Sole injury
Foot injury

Some studies have shown a good effect of calcium pantothenate when used for this disorder. The cases studied were those in which there was a vitamin deficiency. Therefore one does try a multi vitamin, not all cases respond to this treatment. I would recommend you to read a chapter on this issue given below:
