Niwgaba NT Plus
Niwgaba NT Plus Tablet is a combination medicine indicated to manage neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, and evoked pain (pain caused by events usually not painful).
Niwgaba NT Plus Tablet is a combination of three drugs: Methylcobalamin (vitamin), Nortriptyline (antidepressant), and Pregabalin (anti-convulsant). Methylcobalamin is a vitamin that aids in producing myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibres and regenerates damaged nerve cells. Nortriptyline works by increasing nerve transmitters (serotonin and noradrenaline) in the brain, thereby reducing the pain messages arriving in the brain. Pregabalin reduces pain by interfering with pain messages travelling through the brain and down the spine. Together, Niwgaba NT Plus Tablet helps to treat neuropathic pain.
