Introduction
Neurolife NT 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 pain. The medicine combines Gabapentin, an alpha 2 delta ligand, and Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant. Gabapentin modulates calcium channel activity of the nerve cells, while Nortriptyline increases the levels of chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline) that stop the movement of pain signals in the brain. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain. It is important to consult your doctor before using this medicine, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or consuming alcohol, as it may cause excessive drowsiness.
Directions for Use
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. Neurolife NT Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Neurolife NT 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).
