ARIGABA NT 10 TAB

About

ARIGABA NT is a combination medication typically prescribed for neuropathic pain and certain mood disorders. It combines Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant that modulates calcium channels to reduce neurotransmitter release, with Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant that inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. This dual action provides comprehensive relief for nerve-related pain, which often involves both neuropathic and psychological components. Gabapentin helps to calm overactive nerve signals, while Nortriptyline contributes to pain modulation and can also address co-existing depressive symptoms or sleep disturbances often associated with chronic pain. The synergistic effect aims to improve pain management and overall quality of life for patients.
