About
GABAID:18N NT 400 is a combination medication typically containing Gabapentin and Nortriptyline. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant and neuropathic pain agent that works by modulating calcium channels in the nervous system, thereby reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and calming overactive nerve signals. Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, also possesses significant analgesic properties, particularly for neuropathic pain, by increasing the levels of norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain, which helps to modulate pain pathways.
This synergistic combination is designed to provide comprehensive relief for various forms of chronic neuropathic pain, leveraging both components' distinct mechanisms of action to improve pain management and enhance patient quality of life. It is often prescribed when monotherapy with either agent is insufficient.
