PREGAFON NT

Product Description

PREGAFON NT TABLET is a combination of Nortriptyline and Pregabalin which belongs to the group of medicines called Tricyclic antidepressants and Anticonvulsants respectively. PREGAFON NT TABLET is indicated for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic painful nerve condition caused by damage or disease affecting the somatosensory (sense of touch) nervous system.

It can be caused by injury or disease of spinal cord and/or brain, prolonged diabetes mellitus (Ex. diabetic neuropathy), infectious diseases (such as HIV infection or leprosy), chemotherapy, auto-immune disease (Ex. Guillain-Barre syndrome), post-herpetic neuralgia (a long-lasting painful condition that affects the areas around the skin and nerve fibers where shingles were present), fibromyalgia (generalized musculoskeletal pain with fatigue and altered sleep, memory, and mood) or by other metabolic dysfunctions.

Symptoms include shooting, burning or stabbing pain for normal daily activities that are typically not painful, tingling and numbness or spontaneous pain (pain without stimulus).

Continue to take PREGAFON NT TABLET as long as your doctor tells you to do so because premature discontinuation can cause withdrawal symptoms like insomnia, headache, nausea, anxiety, diarrhoea, depression, convulsion and excessive perspiration.

PREGAFON NT TABLET can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviour in some individuals and therefore patients (or caregivers) should seek immediate medical advice if any such signs emerge.

PREGAFON NT TABLET is not recommended for use in patients having severe heart or kidney disease. Consult your doctor before taking PREGAFON NT TABLET. This medicine is not recommended for use in pregnant women unless advised by the doctor and it is not recommended for use in breastfeeding women.

PREGAFON NT TABLET is strictly not recommended for use in children aged below 6 years and it should be taken with caution in elderly patients (aged 65 years or above).
