The active ingredients of Gabapin NT 100MG capsule are Gabapentin 100 MG and Nortriptyline 10MG
Gabapentin is an antiepileptic medicine that works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger known as GABA which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain and prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures. It also reduces the levels of chemical transmitters (glutamate, dopamine) and reduces pain by modulating calcium channel activity of nerve cells, protects nerve fibres and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells, together relieving neuropathic pain. Amitriptyline, tricyclic antidepressant, works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers – serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain that stops the movement of pain signals and maintains mental balance.
