How it works

Pregabalin reduces release of pain-signalling neurotransmitters by binding to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the CNS. Nortriptyline (a tricyclic antidepressant) increases norepinephrine/serotonin activity in pain pathways and modulates pain perception, providing additive relief in neuropathic pain.
