Pentanerv-NT 100mg/10mg Tablet

Product Overview

Pentanerv-NT 100mg/10mg Tablet is a dual-action medication designed to manage neuropathic pain, which occurs due to nerve damage. It works by modifying pain signal transmission in the nervous system, thereby offering relief from chronic nerve-related discomfort.

Dosage and Usage

This tablet is intended for oral use and can be taken with or without food, preferably in the evening. To ensure consistent results, take the medication at the same time every day. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose—in which case, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose. Continue taking the medication for the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve. Discontinuation should only be done under medical supervision, as stopping suddenly may lead to symptom flare-ups.

Common Side Effects

Users may experience a range of side effects including dry mouth, constipation, difficulty urinating, fatigue, dizziness, drowsiness, weight gain, and blurred vision. Other possible effects include swelling in the limbs, uncoordinated movements, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. If any of these become bothersome or worsen, consult your healthcare provider. Sudden emotional or behavioral changes, including thoughts of self-harm, should be reported immediately.

Medical Uses

• Neuropathic Pain: Effective in treating nerve pain caused by conditions such as diabetes, shingles, or spinal injuries.

• Helps reduce pain intensity and related symptoms like poor sleep, mood swings, and fatigue.

• Aims to improve quality of life by disrupting pain signal transmission through damaged nerves.

How It Works

Pentanerv-NT 100mg/10mg Tablet combines two active ingredients: Gabapentin and Nortriptyline.

• Gabapentin interacts with calcium channels in the nervous system, reducing abnormal nerve activity and pain perception.

• Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, enhances levels of certain neurotransmitters (serotonin and norepinephrine), which help modulate pain signals in the brain.
  Together, they work synergistically to manage chronic nerve pain more effectively than when used individually.

Precautions and Safety Information

• Alcohol: Not recommended, as it can increase drowsiness and dizziness.

• Pregnancy: Should be used only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. Potential risks must be weighed against benefits.

• Breastfeeding: Caution advised; the medicine may pass into breast milk and affect the infant.

• Driving and Operating Machinery: Avoid such activities until you are sure how the medication affects you, as it may impair alertness and coordination.

• Kidney and Liver Conditions: Use with caution. Dosage adjustments may be necessary for those with impaired kidney or liver function. Consult your doctor for appropriate monitoring.

• Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice) could indicate liver issues—report these symptoms immediately.

Missed Dose Guidance

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Never take two doses at once to compensate.
