Product Overview
Trugaba-NT 100 Tablet is a combination medicine used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain occurs when there is damage to the nerves, and this medication works by reducing the pain and its associated symptoms, such as mood changes, sleep issues, and fatigue, by interfering with pain signals traveling to the brain.
Salt Composition / Key Ingredients
- Gabapentin (100 mg): Gabapentin is an alpha-2-delta ligand that works by modulating calcium channel activity in nerve cells, which helps decrease the transmission of pain signals.
- Nortriptyline (10 mg): Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that works by increasing the levels of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain, helping to block pain signals from reaching the brain.
How to Use Trugaba-NT 100 Tablet
- Dosage: Take Trugaba-NT 100 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. The dose will be based on your individual condition and response to treatment.
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
- With or Without Food: It can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to ensure consistent medication levels.
- Timing: It is often recommended to take this medication at night, as it may cause drowsiness or dizziness. This can also help you avoid sleep disturbances.
