Ataxia G400 Tablets

Composition: Gabapentin 400mg + Nortriptyline 10mg

Packing: 1x10

INDICATED IN:

In neuropathic pain (pain in damaged nerves).

Mode of Action

Gabapentin
Gabapentin is a ligand of α2δ calcium channel subunit. Gabapentin appears to inhibit the action of α2δ-1 subunits, thus decreasing the density of pre synaptic voltage-gated calcium channels and subsequent release of excitatory neurotransmitters. It is likely that this inhibition is also responsible for the anti-epileptic action of gabapentin.
Nortryptyline
Nortriptyline exerts antidepressant effects likely by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine at neuronal cell membranes. It also exerts antimuscarinic effects through its actions on the acetylcholine receptor.

Benefits & Usage

ATAXIA-G400 a combination of Gabapentin or Nortriptyline may work better than either drug alone. It shows synergistic effect in people who experience neuropathic chronic pain (pain from damaged nerves)
