How it works
Nuroxy AM 300mg/10mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Gabapentin and Amitriptyline. Gabapentin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases the pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Amitriptyline 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).

Avoid taking antacids 2 hours before or after taking Nuroxy AM 300mg/10mg Tablet as they make it harder for your body to absorb the medicine.
