GABANOL NT TAB

About

GABANOL NT TAB combines Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant and neuropathic pain agent, with Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant known for its analgesic properties. Gabapentin works by modulating the activity of specific neurotransmitters in the brain, reducing abnormal nerve excitability and pain signals, particularly by binding to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels. Nortriptyline enhances the effects of norepinephrine and serotonin in the central nervous system, further contributing to pain modulation and often improving sleep quality. This synergistic combination is highly effective in managing various forms of chronic neuropathic pain, such as diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and fibromyalgia. It aims to provide comprehensive pain relief by targeting multiple pathways involved in nerve pain, thereby improving the patient's quality of life and functional capacity.
