PREGABID NT 75MG TABLET is a combination of Nortriptyline and Pregabalin which belongs to the group of medicines called Tricyclic antidepressants and Anticonvulsants respectively.

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).
