Relief from Nerve Pain with Biopentin-NT
Biopentin-NT is a fixed-dose combination therapy designed to manage chronic neuropathic pain (nerve pain). It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, spinal cord injuries, and post-herpetic neuralgia (pain following shingles).
In Nigeria, Biopentin-NT is distributed by Biofem Pharmaceuticals and manufactured by Pulse Pharmaceuticals. It is registered by NAFDAC (Reg. No. B4-9898) as a Prescription-Only Medicine.
How Biopentin-NT Works
Biopentin-NT combines two active ingredients that work together to target pain signals in the nervous system:
- Gabapentin (400 mg): An anticonvulsant that helps reduce the release of pain-inducing neurotransmitters in the brain.
- Nortriptyline (10 mg): A tricyclic antidepressant that enhances the body's natural ability to inhibit pain signals.
Dosage and How to Use
Because this medication can cause drowsiness, it is often recommended for nighttime use. You can take the tablets with or without food. It is important to stay consistent with your dosage and avoid alcohol while on this medication.
