Neurokem NT Tablet

Product Overview:
Neurokem NT Tablet is a combination medication prescribed for managing neuropathic pain. It works by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, thereby reducing discomfort.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, though it is generally recommended to take it at bedtime. Taking it at the same time each day helps maintain a stable amount of the drug in your bloodstream. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dose and length of treatment. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Complete the full prescribed course even if your symptoms improve, and avoid stopping the medication abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider.

Common side effects include constipation, nausea, blurred vision, and excessive sweating. The drug may also cause dizziness and drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you understand how it affects you. Weight gain can occur, so maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise is advisable. If you notice any significant mood changes, increased depression, or suicidal thoughts, contact your doctor immediately.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems. Also, disclose all other medications you are taking, as some may interfere with this treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this tablet.

Uses:

• Treatment of neuropathic pain

Benefits:
Neuropathic pain results from nerve damage due to conditions like diabetes, shingles, or spinal injuries and can be persistent. Neurokem NT Tablet helps alleviate this pain along with related symptoms such as mood disturbances, sleep difficulties, and fatigue by interfering with pain signals in the nerves and brain. Regular use enhances physical functioning, social engagement, and overall quality of life. It may take several weeks for the medication to show its full effect, so continued use as prescribed is important. Even after symptoms improve, continue the medication until your doctor advises otherwise.

Side Effects:
Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve over time. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience persistent or troubling symptoms. Possible side effects include:

• Dry mouth

• Dizziness

• Sleepiness

• Tremors

• Changes in vision

• Increased heart rate

• Constipation

• Nausea

• Excessive sweating

• Weight gain

• Nasal congestion

• Irritability or aggressive behavior

How to Use:
Take this medication exactly as directed by your physician. Swallow the tablet whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. Although it can be taken with or without food, taking it consistently at the same time each day is preferred.

Mechanism of Action:
Neurokem NT combines two active ingredients: Pregabalin and Nortriptyline. Pregabalin works by modulating calcium channels in nerve cells to reduce pain signals, while Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, increases serotonin and noradrenaline levels, helping to block pain transmission in the brain. Together, they provide effective relief from nerve-related pain.

• Avoid alcohol as it may increase drowsiness caused by this medication.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use due to potential risks.

• This medicine can impair alertness and coordination; avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.

• Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver issues, as dose adjustments may be necessary. Always follow your doctor’s advice.

Missed Dose:
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
