Introduction
Minimaxx NP 75mg/10mg/1500mcg Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat certain types of long-lasting pain caused by damage to nerves.

How it works
Minimaxx NP 75mg/10mg/1500mcg Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Pregabalin, Nortriptyline, and Methylcobalamin. Pregabalin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases 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. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B which helps in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
