Introduction
Vencobal-NG 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, thus providing relief from pain caused by nerve damage. The medicine combines Gabapentin, which modulates calcium channel activity in nerve cells, and Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant that increases levels of serotonin and noradrenaline to stop pain signals. While effective, it may have side effects and should be used under medical supervision, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
