Introduction

Gapitas NT 100 Tablet is a combination medicine primarily used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It works by stopping the movement of pain signals to the brain, thereby decreasing the pain. The medicine combines Gabapentin and Nortriptyline, where Gabapentin modulates calcium channel activity of the nerve cells, and Nortriptyline increases the levels of chemical messengers that stop the movement of pain signals in the brain. While effective, it is important to be aware of potential side effects and consult a doctor for proper guidance, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Gapitas NT 100 Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Gapitas NT 100 Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Gabapentin and Nortriptyline. Gabapentin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases the pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant which increases the levels of chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline) that stop the movement of pain signals in the brain. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

Gapitas NT 100 Tablet is used to treat certain types of long-lasting pain caused by damage to nerves. Inform your doctor if you are taking any other pain-relieving medicines. Along with taking this medicine, your doctor might advise you to undergo physiotherapy to get relief from pain. Avoid taking antacids 2 hours before or after taking Gapitas NT 100 Tablet as they make it harder for your body to absorb the medicine.
