Product introduction
Gabapin NT 300 Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve long-standing nerve pain that ordinary painkillers often fail to control. It brings together gabapentin, which calms overactive nerve signalling, with nortriptyline, which helps the brain manage how pain signals are perceived. Doctors commonly prescribe it for pain linked to diabetes, shingles, or nerve injury. Because it works gradually on the nervous system, it is usually taken as a regular course rather than an as-needed painkiller.
Storage: Store below 30°C, in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
