Product introduction
Gabapin NT 100 Tablet is a lower-strength version of the gabapentin-nortriptyline combination, often used as a starting dose for people beginning treatment for nerve pain, or for those who need a gentler dose because of age or sensitivity to side effects. It pairs gabapentin's nerve-calming action with nortriptyline's effect on pain-related brain chemicals. Doctors may step patients up to a higher strength later, depending on how well the pain responds.
Storage: Store below 30°C, in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
