PREBAX-NT

Description

PREBAX-NT contains Pregabalin 75 mg + Nortriptyline 10 mg Tablets, a combination used for the management of certain types of neuropathic pain. Pregabalin helps reduce abnormal nerve signals, while Nortriptyline affects chemical messengers involved in pain signalling.

The combination may be prescribed when nerve-related pain causes symptoms such as burning, tingling, numbness or shooting pain. Therefore, PREBAX-NT should be used only according to the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. For other tablet formulations, you can also explore the MedHexa Pharma Tablet Products range.

Key Benefits

PREBAX-NT combines Pregabalin and Nortriptyline to support the management of neuropathic pain.

• Contains Pregabalin 75 mg
• Contains Nortriptyline 10 mg
• Helps reduce abnormal nerve pain signals
• May help relieve burning and shooting nerve pain

Furthermore, the two ingredients work through different mechanisms. As a result, the combination may provide pain relief for patients with selected neuropathic conditions.

How the Combination Works

Pregabalin binds to specific calcium-channel subunits in the nervous system. As a result, it can reduce the release of certain neurotransmitters involved in excessive nerve signalling.

Meanwhile, Nortriptyline belongs to the tricyclic antidepressant group. It influences the levels of certain neurotransmitters involved in the body’s pain-control pathways.

Therefore, the combination can help reduce abnormal nerve signalling and support the management of neuropathic pain.
