Gabapentin + Nortriptyline + Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

Uses

Gabapentin, Methylcobalamin, and Nortriptyline are used in the treatment of neuropathic pain.

How it Works

How Gabapentin, Methylcobalamin, and Nortriptyline work Gabapentin, Methylcobalamin, and Nortriptyline is a combination of three medications: Gabapentin, Methylcobalamin, and Nortriptyline. Gabapentin is an alpha-2 delta ligand that decreases pain by modulating the calcium channel activity of nerve cells. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B that aids in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that increases the levels of chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline) that inhibit the transmission of pain signals in the brain. Together, these medications relieve neuropathic pain, which is pain resulting from damaged nerves.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Gabapentin, Methylcobalamin, and Nortriptyline include constipation, weight gain, sleepiness, orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing), increased heart rate, dizziness, tiredness, blurred vision, dry mouth, difficulty urinating, and uncoordinated body movements.
