Description
Gabapin NT tablet is used to manage neuropathic pain, which occurs due to nerve damage or irritation. It contains gabapentin and nortriptyline as its active ingredients. Gabapentin works by calming overactive nerves, helping to reduce pain signals, while nortriptyline acts on the central nervous system to further relieve discomfort associated with nerve damage. Together, these ingredients provide effective relief from persistent neuropathic pain.
Gabapin NT is commonly prescribed for conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and nerve pain resulting from injuries or compression. Other tablets with similar compositions include Pentanerv Nt tablet, Laregab Nt tablet, Gabator Nt tablet and Doloneuron Nt 400mg tablet. The combination of gabapentin and nortriptyline helps address both nerve-specific pain and the secondary effects on the nervous system.
It is important to take Gabapin NT exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage and duration will depend on the severity of your condition and your overall health. Do not alter the dose or stop the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as abrupt discontinuation may worsen your symptoms.
Gabapin NT may cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, or mild nausea. To minimise these effects, take the medicine at the same time each day, preferably with food, and avoid alcohol. Inform your doctor if you experience persistent or severe side effects, or if you have any pre-existing conditions such as heart, kidney, or liver issues.
Since Gabapentin NT can cause drowsiness, avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing activities that require full attention until you know how the medicine affects you. Maintaining regular follow-ups with your doctor will ensure that the treatment is safe and effective, helping you achieve better control over neuropathic pain.
