HOW TRYGALIN TABLET WORKS
Trygalin Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Pregabalin,
Nortriptyline and Methylcobalamin.
Pregabalin is an alpha 2 delta
ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity
of the nerve cells.
Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant which
increases the levels of chemical messengers (serotonin and
noradrenaline) that stop the movement of pain signals in the brain.
Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B which helps in the
production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and
rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Together, they relieve neuropathic
pain (pain from damaged nerves).
