How Dutam Plus Products work

Gabapentin + Nortriptyline is a combination of two medicines: Gabapentin + Nortriptyline1 and Gabapentin + Nortriptyline2. Gabapentin + Nortriptyline1 is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases the pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Gabapentin + Nortriptyline2 is a tricyclic antidepressant which increases the levels of chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline) that stop the movement of pain signals in the brain. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
