Triptamin-NP 5/50 Tablet 10's is a combination medicine indicated for the management of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease which causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling or burning sensation.
Triptamin-NP 5/50 Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs: Pregabalin (anti-convulsant), and Amitriptyline (antidepressant). Pregabalin works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this helps in relieving nerve pain. Amitriptyline increases the level of serotonin and noradrenaline, thereby decreasing the movement of pain receptors. Together, Triptamin-NP 5/50 Tablet 10's helps to treat neuropathic pain.
