Gabapin NT Tablet

Description

Main Uses 
Gabapin NT Tablet is mainly prescribed to relieve nerve-related pain (neuropathic pain) caused by:

• Diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) – nerve damage leading to burning or tingling pain in the hands and feet

• Postherpetic neuralgia – pain that persists after shingles infection

• Spinal cord or nerve injury–related pain

• Other chronic nerve pain conditions

It helps reduce shooting, burning, or stabbing pain and improves sleep, mood, and overall comfort.

How It Works:
This medicine combines two active ingredients for stronger nerve pain relief:

• Gabapentin – reduces abnormal nerve signals and calms the nerves.

• Nortriptyline – an antidepressant that enhances mood and strengthens the pain-relieving effect by balancing brain chemicals.

Together, they provide long-lasting relief from nerve pain and help patients feel more relaxed and comfortable.
