Medicinal Benefits

  • Norgatin Tablet is used to treat neuropathic pain.
  • Norgatin Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Gabapentin and Nortriptyline.
  • Gabapentin belongs to a class of drugs called anti-convulsants. It works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this helps in relieving nerve pain and lowers the risk of seizures.
  • Nortriptyline belongs to tricyclic antidepressants. It works by preventing the released chemical messenger in the brain (serotonin and noradrenaline) from being reabsorbed back into the nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. As a result, it prolongs the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain and prevents the movement of pain signals in the brain.
