Tryptomer G 100 mg/10 mg Tablet

Tryptomer G 100 mg/10 mg Tablet is a combination medicine aimed at relieving neuropathic pain, which arises from nerve damage. It works by enhancing levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, helping to regulate mood and block the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain.

How to Take

This tablet is usually taken orally, with or without food, and is preferably taken at bedtime. It is important to follow the schedule advised by your healthcare provider to maintain a steady level of the medicine in your system. Doses should not be missed, and the full course should be completed even if symptoms improve. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to increased seizure risk or other complications. Avoid taking antacids close to this medication as they can reduce absorption.

Possible Side Effects

Some common side effects include constipation, dry mouth, weight changes, difficulty urinating, dizziness, and sleepiness. These effects often subside as your body adjusts. Because the medicine can cause drowsiness or dizziness, avoid driving or performing tasks requiring full alertness until you know how it affects you. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help manage weight gain associated with this medication.

Precautions

Before starting this treatment, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney issues or are severely dehydrated. Disclose all other medications you are taking, as some drugs may interfere with its effectiveness. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss risks and benefits with their doctor.

Uses

This medicine is primarily used to manage neuropathic pain, often caused by conditions such as diabetes, shingles, or spinal injuries.

Benefits

By taking Tryptomer G 100 mg/10 mg Tablet consistently, it can help reduce nerve-related pain and related symptoms including mood disturbances, sleep problems, and fatigue. Regular use enhances physical and social functioning, contributing to improved quality of life. It may take a few weeks before noticeable improvement occurs, so continued use is necessary.

How It Works

This tablet combines two active ingredients: Gabapentin and Amitriptyline. Gabapentin modulates nerve cell activity to reduce pain, while Amitriptyline increases brain levels of serotonin and noradrenaline to block pain signals. Together, they provide effective relief from neuropathic pain.
