Uses

Neuropathic pain

Medicinal Benefits

Grin-O Tablet SR is a combination of three drugs: Methylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B), Nortriptyline (antidepressant), and Pregabalin (anti-convulsant). Grin-O Tablet SR is indicated for the management of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, spinal cord injury, etc. Methylcobalamin aids in producing myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibres and regenerates damaged nerve cells. Nortriptyline works by increasing nerve transmitters (serotonin and noradrenaline) in the brain, thereby reducing the pain messages arriving in the brain. Pregabalin reduces pain by interfering with pain messages travelling through the brain and down the spine. Together, Grin-O Tablet SR helps to treat neuropathic pain.
