Gabapentin works by reducing abnormal nerve signalling involved in pain transmission, while Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, helps modify the way pain signals are processed in the nervous system. The combination may therefore help reduce persistent burning, tingling, shooting or nerve-related pain when prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Gabanyl-NT 400 should be taken only in the dose and duration prescribed by the doctor. It may be taken with or without food according to medical advice. Patients should not increase, decrease or stop the medicine suddenly without consulting their doctor.
The medicine may cause drowsiness, dizziness, tiredness, constipation, dry mouth or difficulty in urination in some patients. Because it can cause sleepiness or dizziness, patients should exercise caution with driving or operating machinery until they know how the medicine affects them.
