Prokarin

Prokarin is a patented alternative medicine that is often used by people with multiple sclerosis (MS) to alleviate symptoms. It is a combination of histamine and caffeine, delivered in a transdermal patch.

Composition

Prokarin consists of histamine and caffeine. Histamine is a compound that is involved in local immune responses as well as regulating physiological function in the gut. It also acts as a neurotransmitter. Caffeine, on the other hand, is a central nervous system stimulant that can temporarily ward off drowsiness and restore alertness.

Use in Multiple Sclerosis

Prokarin is often used by people with multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system. Multiple sclerosis symptoms vary widely, and can include fatigue, difficulty walking, numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, and problems with coordination and balance. Some people with MS have reported symptom relief after using Prokarin, although scientific studies have not confirmed these reports.

Controversy

The use of Prokarin for multiple sclerosis is controversial. While some people with MS report symptom relief after using Prokarin, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. In addition, the FDA has not approved Prokarin for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
