Gabapentin & Nortriptyline Tablets | NORTISPAR-GB

Description

Gabapentin & Nortriptyline Tablets come with the branding “NORTISPAR-GB” and is applied for neuropathic pain management, a chronic, progressive nerve disorder that induces nerve pain. Its signs and symptoms are spontaneous, unprovoked pain, unpleasant sensation, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, rest or sleep difficulty, and evoked pain (pain due to events that are normally not painful).

Gabapentin & Nortriptyline Tablets include Gabapentin and Nortriptyline.

Nortriptyline slows down the activity of serotonin and noradrenaline and blocks movement of pain signals within the brain.

• Gabapentin is a category of medication known as anti-convulsants, while Nortriptyline is of the category tricyclic antidepressants.
• Gabapentin acts by attaching to the particular site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this serves to ease nerve pain and reduces the likelihood of seizures.
• Nortriptyline, however, acts by stopping the released chemical messenger in the brain (serotonin and noradrenaline) from being taken back into the brain's nerve cells (neurons).
• Consequently, it extends the action of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain and prevents the transmission of pain signals within the brain.
