Drug-Induced Neuropathy treatment in Benito Juárez

Drug-induced neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nerves that can appear as an effect of certain drug treatments, altering sensation and, in some cases, strength, especially in the hands and feet.

Common symptoms: tingling, burning, numbness, or a pins-and-needles sensation that usually starts at the ends of the limbs, at times with discomfort when walking or handling objects.

When to seek evaluation? When these sensations arise or intensify during a treatment, it is advisable to discuss it with the person who prescribed it, without stopping anything on your own.

Which specialist studies it? The neurologist is the one who evaluates nerve function and guides follow-up in coordination with the treating physician. Raising these symptoms with a professional helps understand their relationship with the treatment.
