Drug induced PNs, often have a component of damage to mitochondria. Other common drugs that do this, are statins for cholesterol and fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Cipro/Levaquin/Avelox.

You might try taking some supplements that improve mito functions. These are:
acetyl carnitine
CoQ-10
r-lipoic acid

These often help drug induced toxicities and are used for chemo damage, too. If you come to the PN forum and search, you will find more details.
