gabapentin and nortriptyline hydrochloride tablets STARGAB NT is a clinically trusted combination of Gabapentin and Nortriptyline Hydrochloride, developed to provide comprehensive relief from neuropathic pain and associated nerve disorders. Manufactured with precision by Steris Healthcare, this formulation is designed to improve the quality of life in patients suffering from chronic nerve-related pain. The powerful synergy between Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant, and Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), makes STARGAB NT a preferred therapy in nerve pain management across various clinical settings. What is Gabapentin and Nortriptyline Hydrochloride? Gabapentin is a medication structurally related to the neurotransmitter GABA but works differently. It is primarily used to treat seizures and relieve nerve pain (neuropathic pain) caused by various conditions such as diabetes, shingles, or spinal cord injury. Nortriptyline Hydrochloride belongs to the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) group. At lower doses, it is effective in modulating nerve signals and pain perception in the brain, thereby enhancing the pain-relief effects of Gabapentin. Together in STARGAB NT, these two components help reduce the intensity of nerve pain, minimize discomfort, and improve nerve signal stability. Uses of STARGAB NT STARGAB NT is used for the treatment of: Neuropathic pain (due to diabetes, shingles, post-herpetic neuralgia, spinal cord injuries, etc.) Chronic nerve disorders causing burning, tingling, or stabbing pain Fibromyalgia and other nerve-related muscle pain conditions Adjunct therapy in certain seizure disorders Pain management in chemotherapy-induced neuropathy Its dual-action mechanism helps in both reducing pain signals and improving nerve function, leading to more effective long-term relief. Side Effects of Gabapentin and Nortriptyline While STARGAB NT is generally well-tolerated, it may cause side effects in some patients, especially during the initial phase of therapy or when doses are adjusted. Common Side Effects: Drowsiness or sleepiness Dry mouth Dizziness or light-headedness Fatigue or weakness Constipation Weight gain Blurred vision Less Common but Serious Side Effects: Mood changes (depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts) Difficulty urinating Heart rhythm disturbances Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, itching) Coordination problems or tremors Patients should report any unusual symptoms to their healthcare provider immediately.
