Preflex NT Tablet 10's 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).
Preflex NT Tablet 10's combines three drugs: Mecobalamin, Pregabalin, and Nortriptyline. Mecobalamin is a vitamin that aids in producing myelin, which protects nerve fibres and regenerates damaged nerve cells. Pregabalin reduces pain by interfering with pain messages travelling through the brain and down the spine. Nortriptyline works by increasing nerve transmitters (serotonin and noradrenaline) in the brain, thereby reducing the pain messages arriving in the brain. Together, Preflex NT Tablet 10's helps to treat neuropathic pain.
