Metlin-NT 50 Tablet is used to treat Neuropathic pain. It contains Mecobalamin, Pregabalin, and Nortriptyline. Mecobalamin is a vitamin that aids in producing myelin, which protects nerve fibres and regenerates damaged nerve cells. Pregabalin reduces pain by interfering with pain messages travelling through the brain and down the spine. Nortriptyline works by increasing nerve transmitters (serotonin and noradrenaline) in the brain, thereby reducing the pain messages arriving in the brain. Together, it helps to treat neuropathic pain.

How Metlin-NT 50 Tablet Works

Metlin-NT 50 Tablet is a combination medication that uses three active ingredients: Mecobalamin, Pregabalin and Nortriptyline to relieve nerve pain from multiple angles: Mecobalamin is the active form of Vitamin B12; this ingredient helps produce myelin, the protective covering that surrounds nerve fibres. By restoring this protective shield, it promotes the healing and repair of damaged nerves. Pregabalin reduces the release of specific chemical messengers in the brain and spinal cord that transmit pain signals. By calming overactive nerves, it helps decrease the intensity of the pain you feel. Nortriptyline is the active ingredient and belongs to a group of medicines called tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). It works by blocking the reabsorption (reuptake) of norepinephrine and, to a lesser extent, serotonin in the brain and spinal cord. This helps strengthen the body's natural pain-control pathways, reducing the transmission of pain signals to the brain and helping relieve nerve pain.
