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.

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.
