Introduction
Nurowin-NT 400 Tablet is a combination medicine used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It works by decreasing the pain by stopping the movement of pain signals to the brain. 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. This combination helps in relieving neuropathic pain. However, it may have side effects and should be used under medical supervision, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
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. Nurowin-NT 400 Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Nurowin-NT 400 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).
Quick Tips
Nurowin-NT 400 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 Nurowin-NT 400 Tablet as they make it harder for your body to absorb the medicine.
