How Trypwave-G Products work
Gabapentin + Amitriptyline is a combination of two medicines: Gabapentin + Amitriptyline1 and Gabapentin + Amitriptyline2. Gabapentin + Amitriptyline1 is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases the pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Gabapentin + Amitriptyline2 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).
