How it works
Ravigab AT 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).
Quick Tips
Inform your doctor if you are taking any other pain-relieving medicines. Avoid taking antacids 2 hours before or after taking Ravigab AT 300mg/10mg Tablet as they make it harder for your body to absorb the medicine. Along with taking this medicine, your doctor might advise you to undergo physiotherapy to get relief from pain. Do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you.
