Gabapentin 200 mg + Nortriptyline 10 mg Tabs
₹245.00
The Gabapentin 200 mg + Nortriptyline 10 mg tablet is a prescription combination medicine used primarily to treat neuropathic pain (nerve pain) caused by conditions such as diabetes, shingles, or spinal cord injury. This dual-action medication works by calming overactive nerves and preventing pain signals from traveling to the brain.
Active Ingredients
The tablet combines an anticonvulsant and a tricyclic antidepressant to provide synergistic pain relief:
- Gabapentin (200 mg): Works by modulating calcium channels in nerve cells, which reduces the release of neurotransmitters involved in sending pain signals.
- Nortriptyline (10 mg): Increases the levels of certain natural chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline) in the brain, which helps alleviate the emotional and central aspects of chronic pain.
Key Uses and Benefits
- Neuropathic Pain Relief: Treats long-lasting pain described as burning, shooting, stabbing, or electric-like.
- Improved Sleep Quality: By reducing pain and discomfort, it helps improve sleep patterns, which are often disrupted by chronic nerve pain.
- Mood Management: Nortriptyline helps improve mood and well-being, which is especially useful for patients with chronic pain who also suffer from symptoms of anxiety or depression.
- Reduced Fatigue: Alleviates tiredness and restores energy levels by easing pain and improving sleep.
