Pentanerv-NT tablet is used to provide relief from neuropathic pain. It is a combination medicine containing gabapentin and nortriptyline. Gabapentin relieves pain arising due to nerve damage and compression in nerves. Nortriptyline acts on your central nervous system and offers relief from neuropathic pain. These two medicines work in reducing neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage).
You should take this medicine at the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Some other tablets containing gabapentin and nortriptyline are Gabapin NT tablet, Laregab Nt tablet, Gabator Nt tablet and Doloneuron Nt 400mg tablet.
